Completed my BSN

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Well... I did it! I completed my BSN coursework. It will not affect my job title, nursing at the bedside... My pay will not change, my hours will stay the same... life will continue as normal. I complained here and there about how I felt like this is so unnecessary... Why am I doing this? Spending money I don't really have for a degree that I don't really need.

Now that I'm done... I'm actually pretty proud of myself, and I'm glad I did it. Maybe I will continue my education even further, maybe not... but for now... I am happy and feel accomplished. Just some self reflection.

Congratulations!
