maire, ASN, RN · Sep 5, 2002

30-yr old happily married mom of 3 rugrats (9, 7 and 6 mos.)...pre-reqs done, took time off to have a baby and ready to go back in January to start clinicals in a 2-yr nursing program. Took me a while to figure out what I wanted to be "when I grew up."

That about sums it up! :)
