Don't think you can do it, huh?

your story is very inspiring. thank you for sharing God bless you

Nursing needs people like you!!!!!!

I just wanted to let you all know that Holly's hardship continues. She is a great nurse and has been happy in peds for over a year now, but her son was diagnosed with autism earlier this year, then a couple of months ago, her and her husband found out that their daughter has a rare heart condition and had to see a specialist in Miami for a procedure. Even though she's faced all these obstacles and heartaches, she never lets it get to her. She still finds it in her to put on a smile for other people. She's the best person I know and I'm proud to call her my best friend. She truly is Jollie Holly

My heart goes out to you and your family. You made it and thats what counts. I who failed twice am encouraged!

Thanks for the for your words.http://allnurses.com/forums/images/s...0of%20wink.gif

Congrats RN!! that was a touching story

I am so glad you shared this story...I divorced mother with a beautiful son that will be 2 years old next month...and I hear people at work say...You think she can do it...all because I work, go to school and take care my son full time. They think it no way I can go to nursing school being a single mother...But I can show them better than I can tell them. Action speaks a whole lot louder than words. I have a bachlelor in Computer Science (boring)... I always knew in the back of my mind that nursing was my calling. But I can't wait to become THE Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I'm doing it because I love children. But I'm not trying to brag. When it comes I will let them know "I did it"!!!! for my son and I.

wow what a testimony. thanks for telling your story. its just shows you how one minute your life can be great and the next its all been taken away from you. But god always knows what he is doing and the reason behind it. Im glad you didn't give up. Continue to share your story. I can truley understand were you are coming from being that i was once in a situation a little similar to yours.

You're story seems almost unreal! Very inspiring... thank you!

You are truly one of a kind, even with the deck stacked against you, you managed to triumph. You showed your mettle. The nursing profession is very lucky to have you and you make me proud to be a nurse. Also, I'm sure you bring the same ethics of hard work and tenacity to the job, and that is the best news that your patients can ever hope for. Kudos.
