Keeping it in the family.

I graduated from a BSN program in 1995 as a single mom. I have four sisters. (I'm second oldest) I've worked Med-Surg, agency, and most recently in ICU.

The second to the youngest sister entered a nursing program two years after I graduated. She says I was her inspiration for going. She graduated with an ADN and is an ER/Critical Care nurse. She starts classes this fall for her BSN.

My Dad's sister then was laid of from her long term job as a flight attendant. My sister and I talked up nursing. She went through a LPN program and is now LOVING working in LTC. She's planing to get her RN soon.

My older sister's youngest then started kindergarten and she decided to go through a LPN program. She graduated last May and found work in a Gasteroenterology Group's offices.

So then my baby sister (actually is 25) graduated THIS May as a LPN and is working on her temp license in a LTC facility she worked for as a CNA during her schooling. She's waiting to take the NCLEX.

My middle sis says Nursing is gross. But she does do office work in an oral surgeons. Her Mom (my step-mom) is the oral surgeon's bookkeeper. And my Dad's youngest sister just graduated from a dental assistant program and is working in a community clinic.

We gotcha covered on the medical/dental front. Can your family beat that???
