After 3 years I can now officially put MSN after my name! Graduated and walked last week. Woohoo! If someone were to ask me 10 years ago if I’d still be sober and that I’d finish a BSN and an MSN I would say that can’t possibly be me. Ten years ago, unemployed, removed from practice, and on the verge of losing everything. I got out Nov 2012 from mandatory program and started MSN Fall 2016. This Nov will be 10 yrs sober from etoh and mind-altering substances. Quality problems now is what do I do with this grad degree.
Just wanted to check in because this place in August 2008 was my only place to see there was hope. People here are more honest than the nurses I had in support group. Well, have a good day you amazing people! Couldn’t have done it without your help.
