The oldest step daughter graduates from nursing school on Dec 8th 

 and has been interning at a hospital in the town where she is living.  She has already gotten and accepted a job offer at the hospital.  Today she had a patient that will probably die over the next day or so and she is all torn up about it.  She called her mom all upset and crying.  I asked her mom (who has been a nurse for 26 years) did she go through the same thing when her first patient died and she said yes she did.  Hopefully, she will get used to death being a part of the job.  
She made straight A's the whole time she was in nursing school
