I am on top of the world today. Back in January I was accepted to Portland Community College's and I found allnurses.com. There is no greater feeling I can have for the GREATEST FAMILY of allnurses.com, who have brought me the greatest and realest positive energy as a CNA. I have succeeded thanks to ALL OF YOU for providing care and knowledge i frankly couldn't get anywhere else.
I brought you ALL with me into the auditorium today, as i got my advisor and was assigned a group, etc. Allnurses.com has made me a diamond amongst other students who don't know about our place and are not CNA's. My thoughts are now that I have to guard what I have learned from you. The confidence you ALL have given me can be interpreted as cockyness to the general nursing student class/group. At work, i am still humble around the nurses, but having worked all ready for 5 months on the floor and floated and allnurses.com is some great reality to realize. You all touch lives - you touch mine - and I want to thank you/can't thank you enough.
I don't know how I feel being the only working floor CNA atending nursing school. I wish there were more people who became CNA's while in nursing school and have a name on allnurses.com. I feel lonely, in a way, where I am.
