At our orientation, the dean told us that there will be some very rough days when we don't want to continue in the program. She said before we start, we should take a piece of paper and write our name out with the initials, RN behind it. We should tape it to our mirror so that on those mornings, we can remember what we're aiming for....maybe I'll just write mine in lipstick on the mirror.

A New Chapter
Tomorrow is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for me. After working in proposals for about 4 years, I am moving on. Tomorrow will be my last day at my current job of 2.5 years and Monday I will begin my 15 month journey to another Bachelor's degree. This time in nursing. I am super duper excited about the nursing program, sad to be leaving the job and coworkers that are family by now, and scared about becoming a poor student on financial aid. Even during my first undergraduate degree program 10 years ago (YIKES), I always worked between 20-38 hours a week so this will be quite an adjustment for me.
