ROLL CALL!!!

Are you a pre-nursing student or newly admitted student? How about changing careers or non-traditional student? Full-time mom? Previous degree? We all share information so effortlessly and we're all working towards a common goal....but we all have different life experiences. I'm curious to know why did you choose nursing, what specialty (if any) are you leaning towards? Is there a specific hospital? After becoming an RN...then what?

We might learn from each other!

I can start off:

I have always wanted to be in the medical field and have had the opportunity to dibble dabble in different areas. At one point, I thought maybe I could do something else, so I graduated college and eventually attained a senior management position. I realized that despite the pay and how quickly I was excelling, I didn't leave work feeling accomplished. So now that I've gotten that out my system...I'm ready to go!

As far as hospitals...I am in LOVE w/ CHOA. The people that work there are amazing...they are so happy even though they are dealing w/ some of the most difficult situations. I also have this "thing" for Emory. Recently, I've become interested in research which is how they fit in. So if GOD see's fit I plan on going to 2 year ADN program and doing a bridge option so I can eventually get my masters. I won't go into too much detail but I also I have a long term goal of impacting patient satisfaction/employee morale on a large scale.
