Hello, My name is Jocelyn Laake. I am a RN in labor and delivery at St. Elizabeth Medical Center. This will be my very first time ever blogging, so please be patient with me. Twelve years ago I graduated from Miami University and landed my dream job delivering babies. There is something almost magical about what I do. I get to share in that amazing moment when a baby is born and breathes for the first time. To get a peek at the most intimate moment when a mother holds her child for the first time is something that still brings a tear to my eye. I absolutely love what I do and I love to teach others about it. Part of the reason I have decided to go back to school for my BSN is to continue that passion. I worked part time as an OB clinical instructor for Beckfield College, but I plan on continuing my education to possibly make it a full time position before my body gets too beat up to work the floor. I honestly am not sure what to expect from this class. I am sure it will push me to look closer into my personal beliefs about ethics in death and dying in a population other than infants.
Outside of work and school, my 4 year old son takes up most of my time. My husband and I are huge history buffs, so when we can we are taking some new adventure to new places and gathering new experiences for my son. One interesting fact about myself is that I am half Native-American. My mother is full blooded Mohawk and we are from a small reservation in upstate New York.
