Hello, friends. As many of you know, I have been studying for the last three years to be a registered nurse. It was an odd decision, given that my passion is acting and music.. but as my other artistic friends know, sometimes it doesn’t quite pay the bills.
If that was my reason for starting, I quickly found that I really did enjoy the science and the art of caring for people in need. It has become another passion in my life, and the road has been difficult.
Last Friday, I took the NCLEX-RN, A.K.A. the State Boards, and I found out this morning that I have indeed passed. So, next week, my new journey begins, as I begin my job as a registered nurse.
I have had so much support from my wife, parents, siblings, family, and friends, and I thank you all.
As for the acting, fear not, this actually means I get to pursue that career indefinitely, and have already begun shooting the next big project, “Dead Hunt”. In the next few months expect a new headshot (finally), a demo reel, and more music as well. As always, stay tuned to www.timpane.com.
Much of that thanks goes to you, my Barnsonian buddies. You guys have helped me challenge a part of myself that was sometimes stifled throughout this ordeal. So, thanks.
woohoo
Congratulations!!!

A male nurse, eh, Focker?
Seriously though… great jeoaorb, Homestar.
Yo..
Easy there Robert Money.
I’ll stick you with this 25 gauge 1 inch needle used to give intradermal injectons.
Everybody to the limit
Hey, is that the first Homestar reference at Barnson.org?
Just some cool guys… drinking drinks… lookin’ at a thing in a bag.

No more Homestar references, or I’ll start burninating all the peoples in the thatched-roof cottages, you hear?

Moral support!
The beauty of moral support is that it’s free, but the person receiving it feels like he owes someone.
Round of drinks for everybody? Make mine a Root Beer.

Another Focker!!!
Congrats on passing your NCLEX–difficult feat to say the least. Kudos… Kudos… NOW do you really know what you are getting yourself into?!? HA! No worries, you’ll find out soon enough.
I dont know who you are..
But you bastard.. why didnt you tell me sooner!
Yeah, its nutso hard. Doing a critical care internship, learning how to do this all over again.. eek!!
Its actually really rewarding, but also a bit crazy… between this and the acting, I havent had a day off in 16 days.
Yikes!!
