My name is Natalie :)
I am new to this and am eager to mix/mingle/"steem-meet" with all of you!!
I am a bit of an eclectic person....I enjoy may things, but I would say traveling is definitely one of my favorite things to do...My father was in the military (Navy) so I am considered a "navy brat" :) I will take it, because it has made me who I currently am!
I get the "travel bug" itch roughly every 4-6 months...I can't help it! And when I have lived in one place more than a couple of years, I am ready to move somewhere else...anyone else can relate?
The best part about traveling is getting to try the food, food, and more food...I should be a host on a travel channel..hahaha
Career wise, I am an RN and I work in the NICU ( Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) I do enjoy my job...and I love my babies.
I am also a mother, a closet entrepreneur, an avid reader of thriller books, a bit of a chef, a traveler, bi-lingual, and multicultural....I love learning new things and my friends inevitably become my extended family.
What can you expect from following me? I guess you can expect an eclectic variety of posts from me ( guess the ADD in me can't help but want to talk about everything and anything) and I hope you find them entertaining as well and educational in some way.
Thank you for taking the time to read my first post...I hope to hear from my new Steemit family members soon!!

My son was in the NICU but only for a short time (under a week). I'm diabetic which gave him unstable and low blood sugars when he was born. Lol, he was the only 10 pound baby there!! The nurses always made us feel so good and were so wonderful and caring. They really were a huge part of the beginning of his life, we'll never forget them.
I'm sure your patients feel the same way about you!!

Thank you @nicolicreer!! Trama/ENT is an exciting and never dull unit. I worked ER for a little while but found I preferred working with the babies. I am looking forward to comparing all sorts of stories...especially the travel ones!!
