    Not exactly a wood gloat, but a gloat none the less!

    Hey fellow Creekers! I've been missing you all lately--I've been doing quite a bit of studying, and trying to spend less time on line these last couple months. It appears that the studying paid off! I took my Nursing licensing exam Wednesday morning, and found out this morning that I passed!! I'm now Registered Nurse Nate, in addition to Nate the woodturner! Now I have a bit more relaxing time to share some of my recent turnings. I got a cheap photo tent, and hope to spend some time today taking pictures.

    Cheers to all my buds!

    Gloats require pics, Nate. We need to see a copy of the notification of certification, the tent, and your smiling face! Congrats.

    Big congrats Nate! That's a credential that you can build off of! Well done. How long have you been working towards that?
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Congrats Nate! My RN wife just retired after 35 years(though just part time for the last 23) and my daughter just passed her boards. Good luck on becoming employed! Hope you don't end up with too much turning time!

    Never had a doubt about you passing boards, Nate............we need more good medical professionals who actually care about the patients they serve. Congratulations and hope your career brings you much fulfillment. Are you going to work at UVa medical center or Martha Jefferson? Perhaps another venue?
