    I am finishing up my BSN, I plan to at least work for a year, so that I am in the clear for not having to pay back the tuition reimbursement. I want to travel when I retire. Maybe a travel agent would be fun!
  12. Were you a bully in high school?

    I was bullied. I had excellent math skills, which made me nerdy. I also am a big girl. My junior and senior years not so much.
