Hello friends!  I am 41 years old, and have owned a scrub store for 4 years.  This business, though profitable, is not what I want to do anymore.  I have talked to many nurses (customers) and I have decided to go to Galen College of Nursing and become a nurse!  This has been on my mind night and day since last 4th of July.  I have taken to PAX test, and am waiting to hear if I have been accepted.  My next step will be meeting with financial aid.  I am very excited about what the future holds for me, and I must tell you that I have not felt that way for many many years!  It's like I have woke up, and discovered what I want to be when I grow up!  I am scared, (will I be smart enough to remember all of the information for a test), but I am also very happy to look forward to the future!  Thanks for reading this, and any advice would be welcome!

So glad to hear you've found something you're very passionate about! I think it's great when people find their calling - not everyone is fortunate enough to be doing what they love. Wishing you the best of luck, and keep us all in the community posted about your progress!
