LPN to NP - looking for mentor

[MYRN2016]

Hello:

I am currently an 14 year LPN who will start an ADN program in January which bridges into a BSN program when I attain my RN. I do missions work in Central America and God's favor allowed me to work as a Corporate Director of Resident Care where I was blessed with Partner shares. The position was originally written for an RN, but I served in the position for 4 years. I am now called to pursue my RN and later my NP, I really need a mentor or friend who perhaps took the NP journey first as an LPN. Please inbox me, as I believe that as we refresh others so shall we be refreshed. I am leaving my 12 year job in Atlanta to relocate to Cleveland Ohio to be a full time student. Thank you.

I started as an LPN. Worked in that roll for 12 years before going back for RN. Finished BSN this past May and will be applying for CNM/WHNP starting this summer.

Best of luck to you MYRN on your journey!! I did not start as an LPN but did wait almost 14 years before returning back to school for my MSN/FNP. Sounds like you have a wonderful foundation from which to grow. I'd be happy to help in any way I can, even if it's just an encouraging word or an extra prayer :)
