About PeanutButterToast

I am a 35-year-old mother of 3 who wanted to get into nursing 10 years ago. Unfortunately life just would not allow it at the time. I put the dream on the back burner but never forgot about it. For 7 years I applied to the hospital that I wanted to work at after nursing school who also happened to have the nursing college that is the one I have always wanted to go to. Thankfully I finally got in and hope to retire from here as a nurse. Now I am in the process of completing my pre-reqs again and will be applying summer 2016 for a January 2017 admittance. I am thankful for how it all worked out. I know I have developed a different insight, more maturity and a stronger desire to succeed than I had 10 years ago at 25. Even though it has been a crazy journey I am looking forward to the rest of the ride.

    Also check with your state because they may not allow you to get your license if your program was online initially. Here in NY there are some fields where you are not allowed a license if you did not attend a brick and mortar school.

    Actually, abusing breaks is stealing money from the organization. That is a corporate compliance issue and those can be submitted completely anonymously.

    PeanutButterToast replied to rachflamini's topic in Pre-Nursing
