Kindred Hospital

We have had a very busy couple of weeks here in the Sherman family. On May 14th we took a tour of Kindred Hospital in Green Cove Springs. It wasn't so much as a tour of the actual hospital but more of a tour of different medical careers. They talked about what each department did, how much schooling was involved, what the pay range was and what the need was for that career was in this area as well as nationwide. Noelle has always wanted to go into the medical field she says as a nurse or a pediatrician. I really tried hard to steer Jacob towards the pharmacy because they make a TON of money but he is clearly not interested. We think he is headed down the computer career path. He is not sure what avenue but he does know he wants it to involve computers somehow. He is really into movie making so I think that may play a role somewhere also. Noah has always said he wanted to be in the Navy. I can see that! He is just that kind of kid. I am encouraging him to get a college degree first so that he could go in as an officer and he can make more money. I have heard that is how it works. Hannah, we aren't sure what lies in Hannah's path yet. She is very undecided and that is ok because she has a lot of time to decide. She is considering a paralegal career but nothing has really been decided.

This is Noah in the physical therapy department.

This was when we were in the lab. Jacob is looking into the microscope at some blood cells.


Jacob is all signed up to take part in the "Volunteen" program at Orange park Hospital this summer. He needs to have at least 75 volunteer hours for high school so this is his first step to achieving them.
