About BSwasBS

I earned my BS in Biology and I quickly learned that it was BS. So, I am returning to Nursing school this Spring to earn my RN License. After that I plan to earn my MSN and become a Family Nurse Practitioner. After that, I intend to earn my JD and practice Healthcare Law or work in Hospital Administration. Wish me Luck!!!
