Good News!

So after a year and a half of being out of school, I am finally going back to finish.

I often feel discouraged that it took me 6 years to get 2 associates degrees. One in general studies, one in Nursing. While all my other friends were graduating with their Bachelors, I was just starting the nursing program. It made it easier that most of my classmates were in the exact same boat as me. That's just how it is in nursing. You apply and reapply to programs, and take classes and retake classes until you get in.

I have 2 associates degrees, and yet it took me longer than it would to get a bachelors in just about anything else. I wouldn't change my schooling for anything though. Being a nurse is my calling in life. This I know with every fiber of my being.

Today I had my intake interview with the enrollment counselor at Western Governors University. I have been accepted in the RN to MSN program to get my Masters of Science in Nursing Education. Just writing "RN" next to my name makes me so proud, but writing BSN or MSN next to my name just might make my head explode with joy.

In about one year they will award me a Bachelors degree, and I will from there continue straight on to my Masters degree.

I'M SO STOKED I CAN HARDLY STAND IT!!!

Just wanted to share the good news!
