Thank-you Son

So I have finally come to the end of a grueling 4 year BSN program, and likely won't be valedictorian, nor will have an opportunity to stand up and make a toast, so I figure that this a place where I can take the podium and speak. Nurses Announcements Archive Article

Thank you for sharing ur heart with us. It's really touching,inspiring, and it opens the eyes,minds,and hearts of parents traveling the same road. Its lets us know that while we improve ourselves to give more of ourselves to others,that we are not alone in our journey,and that what we see the least,is what shows up in the end,and counts ethe most. GOD bless you in your new journey.

I am glad you gave thanks to your son. Children are often left out when parents are going to school or change jobs. I know he must be very proud of his hero. But most of all God deserve the most high thanks and praise.

...and Thank You. I, too, have a son, age 4. And I, too, have just finished my nursing course. My son was born just as I began my career as a student and, like yours, our journey has been a long one. Thank you for saying everything I have in my heart. I thank my son as well.

When I first read this article when it was featured on the homepage a few weeks ago, I fell in love with it. I can totally relate to so much of it, it really made a lasting impression. So, when I was assigned to give an oral reading for one of my classes, I chose this article. My instructor and fellow classmates loved it. A lady that was sitting next to me had tears in her eyes. My instructor said it was a great piece to read for our class and I ended up with an A! Thank you so much for touching so many hearts over here at Baker College of Flint, Michigan.

i tried to hold back the tears, but they gave way.....(what guy does this on his first time reading an article?) i guess i can say, i'm empathetic.....

great job!

This made me tear up. I am very picky about writing, and this is one of the best pieces I've read on here. Congrats to you and your son!

as i read this posting it.....i had tears. i am currently a student in the nursing program with a four year old and it's tough. taking her to daycare early in the early morning and late pick ups. i'm there in yours shoes.... every morning we kiss good bye and she says "bye mommy, and she says my mommy going to nursing school"....my little angel.:redpinkhe

when i get home she always asks "how was your day mommy".... as stressful i am in nursing school with all the exams, study groups, learning and understanding the function and structure. i manage to keep it simple for her and spend time with her, play dolls with her, then bath time and bedtime..........then i'm studying again for hours as she sleeps.

i know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

congratulations on finishing your nursing school, your wedding day and soon to buy a home!

breathtaking story!:yeah:

This was inspiring as well as touching. I cried the entire time read the article. I have a little boy and he too has sacrificed a lot so that I finish my degree. Thanks for the motivation. It helps to know that there is an end to the madness of working full-time and schooling full-time.
