two and a half years later, 17 courses (i needed a few co-reqs), one class at a time, one paper at a time, 16 a's and one a minus, (i haven't got my final on my last class yet), 16 years after graduating with an adn, i finished florida hospital college of health sciences online rn to bsn program.
i wasn't feeling it until i hit submit and it dawned on me that i submitted my very last paper and i'm done. at which time i then jumped up and down like a football player scoring a touchdown and am practically in tears...yessssssssss it feels good.
to say i'm thankful to allnurses, wouldn't be enough. it was on this very forum i discovered the program i chose and received encouragement all along to start and to stay in. i'm so greatful to everyone on the distance learning forum, all the other forums, my blog readers who have had to listen to me whine and cry for the last 2.5 years. i would not have made it alone without my allnurses friends! thanks so much!
i'm just beside myself with joy and pride. thanks for listening.
i'm going to take a break before i think about returning to school again. i've earned it. woot.
when you can keep your sight on the goal throughout lifes ups and downs, when you finally achievemnt it is not bragging it is one of those moments when you can smile and say truthfully
****dang, aint i good!!!!!!***
congras, it couldn't happen to a harder worker, better nurse or finer man
Awwww!!! Congratulations!!!! It was a loooong time coming, but you did it and always stayed with the overall goal in mind! CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!:monkeydance:
Thanks so much everyone for the well wishes. I'm humbled and certainly appreciate the support!!!
I'm still grinning ear to ear, but it's back to the old grind. I owe my employer some time for the tuition reimbursement, so I'm going to sit tight in my current position as a charge nurse (which is far up in management as I am willing to go) but with an eye out for those "BSN preferred/required" positions for the future when I get burned out.
I'm treating myself to a nice trip to Asheville, NC to a bed and breakfast in the mountains in Sept. as my gift to me from me. :)
