Buy good shoes, invest in caffeine (5-hour energy), better to shoot for the moon and miss then aim for the gutter and get a bullseye!

As much as I would like to say that I am doing this for my family (and I am), I am most definitely doing this for me! I am worth it!

-when is your start date?

august 16th!

-what state are you in?

nc

program (lpn,adn,bsn)?

adn (for now)

what is the one piece of advice you are holding onto right now?

"continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential." who is your greatest motivation to complete nursing school?

#1 myself, then my parents second. i want a relatively secure job where i don't have to live paycheck to paycheck after growing up like that & watching my parents struggle to provide for us. although we (their children) never went without there were many things they gave up in order to do that. i also want to go into nursing because it's what i have always wanted to do. after switching majors multiple times i would always end up back at being a rn. especially with me wanting to do missionary trips, being a nurse and learning the skills will provide me with a way really help others.

"Do your very best and don't worry about the things you can't control"

5. WHO IS YOUR GREATEST MOTIVATION TO COMPLETE NURSING SCHOOL?

It has always been my dream to become a nurse and I am so excited to finally get the chance to work on that goal. I would have to say that my greatest motivation in becoming a nurse is to really help people--to have the satisfaction that my job is a tangible means that I can make a positive difference in a lot of peoples' lives.

Hmmm...none yet.

Myself, my boyfriend and my siblings. Need to set an example since I'm the oldest of my siblings. My boyfriends' support helped me to not give up. And I'm doing this for myself to prove I can actually accomplish something important to me.
