About jbward

I'm Jennifer but my friends call me Jb. I have worked in the criminal justice field for the last 15 years working with juveniles. I have always been interested in Nursing just never thought I had the stomach for it. In the past years I have developed somewhat an iron stomach and decided it was time to pursue my dream. So, in July I begin my journey to becoming an LPN. I love talking to people and hearing of their experiences and getting some of their wisdom as well. Any ideas or thoughts that would be helpful are welcome. I am the mother of two fantastic sons, Tyler who is 20 and Ryann who is 17. I am married to my best friend and worse enemy at times, haha but I am sure some can relate to that statement. They are all a great support system and I am blessed to have them in my life even when things aren't perfect.
