i ask this question just to learn more about everyone...everyone comes from different walks of life, different challenges, strengths, and weaknesses it makes us all human.

growing up i never said i wanted to be a nurse....i wanted to be a dentist then a meteorologist, and a professional ballerina...well i was a dental assistant for a while and didnt love it, and i love weather but hate calc with a passion, and i blew out both knees dancing...so i was lost needless to say.

When the economy started to get rough for me anyways i looked in the local paper and they had stna classes availble and i thought that healthcare might be right...so i went and applied my mother went with me to apply bc we were out and about and she told me after i applied why did i waste my time i wouldnt like working in a nursing home i would quit in a month...3 years went by and i loved it. so i considered nursing my grandmother who was dying from generalized cancer...i say generalized because by the time they found it it was all over her body and they couldnt pinpoint where it started. she was the only one who ever believed in me told me that i would be a great nurse. i actually cried in my entrance interview to nursing school bc they asked why do i want to be a nurse. lol

she motivated me to pursue nursing and i am so grateful she did.  I love being a nurse so what is your story...

Thanks for your time

Heather
