I set out to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming an RN. Life has a funny way of throwing curve balls and it was no different this time around. I ended up settling for my LPN in 09 with the knowing in my heart I would one day finish what I originally started, my RN degree.

Tonight I walked the stage with 42 amazing people and received my pin and degree ( technically it'll be mailed to me) completing my quest to become an RN. Within the next month I hope to sit for my boards and put the final touch on it.

I've been plying them at homecare for 5 years, I'm debating switching to hospital work just to see how the other half lives

Being low on the totem pole...
may call for 11-12 hour days; week-end shifts.
At least the money will be more in line with your skill level!

Good Luck!!

Thanks James! One thing I've learned is never be afraid to chase your dreams and never give up on them
 
Congrats. I I was in medical field for 14 years. I too got my lvn and was waiting for rn school. I worked as an emt both in field and in hospital. I got paid more to work in radiology so I transferred there. I decided that I needed more hands on bedside nursing experience so I worked on the floors as a cna. Worst mistake ever!!!! Unappreciative patients, long hours, physical and mental abuse on a daily basis. I lost the passion and love I had for nursing!!!! It truly is a really demanding career.

I could see myself transforming into someone I hated so I was forced to leave the hospital to preserve my sanity.
I may or may not go back to nursing. Maybe as a nurse in something besides hospital work. As of right now I'm deciding what I really want to do with my career.

Good luck to you. I know how hard it is to complete nursing school. Be proud of what you've accomplished!!!!
 
Thanks guys, I am most certain proud of what I've accomplished!
 
Congratulations Brian on your stunning achievement. We need more nurses to care for the sick and injured and now the wold is a better place +1.......:applause:
