About RN2BE83

I attended UNC Chapel Hill where I received my BA in EXSS. After working in clinical research for 5 years, getting married, having a beautiful baby girl and a handsome little man who was 2 months premature, I decided I wanted to become a NICU nurse. The nurses at CMC-NE were AWESOME with my son and I can't imagine a better profession. I only wish that I had known sooner that becoming an RN was my true calling. I'm completing my pre-requisites this semester and I'm hoping to be admitted into the ADN program at SCC or RCCC for Fall 2013. Good luck to everyone pursuing your dreams!!!
