In April I wrote the article in hopes that my story would inspire other nursing students to persevere against the odds. If you read the original article you will learn that I was a nursing student who beat the odds when my grade appeal was successful after failing a second class. And I was astonished when my article gained attention both positive and negative. To my dismay shortly after the article was published I was notified by an administrator that my username would have to be changed from "BornANurseJB" to "ToBeBornANurseJB". After my username had to be changed, I somehow lost my password and have not been able to gain access to that account. I received some really sweet messages from other members and I hate that I lost touch with those who reached out. So I wanted to give those who care to read an update. Since then I have graduated nursing school (August) and last week I passed the NCLEX (1st time). So today I decided to make a new account with the degree and initials I fought so hard for! It's NurseJen_BSN,RN :)
Florence Nightingale once said, "I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse." Today less than a year later I can proudly say that I never gave or took an excuse. And I hope I always have an attitude that reflects that.
I see I still have fans watching everything I post... It still tickles me. But on a serious note at the end of the day I know I worked very hard to be where I am. I'm very happy and blessed :)
PS: Another thank you to those who have been supportive.

We aren't "watching everything you do" you posted on a public forum.
Those that have congratulated you obviously haven't followed you since the beginning & haven't seen the many excuses you gave.
I have read your previous threads. The only thing I am going to say is to take the second and third chances you were given and show everyone they are wrong. That being said, remember that you and the ADN's are both nurses. Neither one is better than the other. You both learned the nursing process as well as critical thinking skills. You wrote more papers than the ADN.

No go out there and prove us all wrong.
YES MA'AM!! Again I apologize, I was wrong. Thank you!
