Don't think you can do it, huh?
Hello to all,
I would like to share a story with you. My name is Holly and I just graduated in May and found out I passed my boards on 7-5-07, what a feeling to have the title R.N. behind my name. It took a long time to get there though. I grew up very wealthy as a little girl and had everything I could ever want for or need, my mother who is blind and disabled since before my birth had won a lawsuit, and I was born into money. However, when I was 14 years old my father who never worked a day in his life realized the money was gone and so was he. At this point I was living with my mom and my little sister who 11 years old then in a condemned house. Everyday I would listen for the ice cream truck to come down the street, for that was really my only nourishment, since my dad and the family car were gone. I remember answering the door to a woman who served me eviction papers.
I decided to give it one more stab, and boy am I glad I did, in the summer of 2004, when my baby was 7 weeks old I returned for my prerequisites for the nursing program. After three long and arduous years, I finally graduated in 2007. Many of my co workers never thought I could balance being a full time student, worker, wife and mommy. But I believe if you want something bad enough, you will work hard at. I just started working as an R.N. on a general pedi floor, and love making sick children better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
