My Nic is actually the name of a book that helped inspire me to go back to school.

The book was written as a sort of memoir, by Dr. Grace Keiser, a female physician who practiced for many years in the Amish Country of Pennsylvania. The title of the book is "Doctor Frau", because in the German dialect spoken by the Amish, "frau" is the word for "mature woman", or "old married housewife", or "Mrs".

I thought that might be a fitting handle for an older divorced, somewhat frumpy woman who is attending medical school!!!!
