Hey everyone....Been a little bit since I ventured onto the boards. Hope everyone is enjoying the spring so far. We here in Edmonton are really only into one thing right now - yep - Hockey! GO OIL GO!!!

Anyways, this week I was given the opportunity of a lifetime, and I think I am really considering it. As some of you already know, I am completing my nursing degree right now - only have 3 classes left! Anyways, I applied in January for an international placement for my last 12 weeks of schooling, and I was accepted! So, at the end of September, I will be moving to Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom for 14 weeks to complete my degree! I am so beside myself right now and still I think in a state of shock. I wasn't really expecting to get the acceptance, but I did, and I am SO excited. I just really wanted to share my news with everyone.

If anybody is familiar with Wales, please let me know. I chose Wales because the University told me that no one from our program has ever ventured to that area, and I thought, well, gee, I can take it for the team!

Wish me luck - Joline

Good for you!!!

I always wanted to travel and work abroad during and after school, so I'm going to live vicariously through you!
