About astonish31

Single mom of 2 on a budget. Seeking a secure career. I attended a 18 month RN program over 8 years ago for two semesters but an unfortunate life circumstance changed those plans. Currently, applying for the PN program at a community college. It is a year program but I only have 5 classes to complete. Will like complete a BSN program, thereafter. I possess a BA in psychology and criminal justice and a MA in counseling. Hope to network with current nursing students/professionals. I desire to specialize in the psych arena. Addition, I hope to gain experience in forensic, SA and the OR. Looking forward to corresponding and learning with you all. If I can be of help then it is my duty assist.
