First Post

Welcome to my blog. In it, I will chronicle my journey through a 4-semester ADN nursing program. This will be my second degree as I already have a bachelors I never quite put to use. Oh well, that's life. I decided a year ago that what I wanted was to be in the medical field. So, I quit my crappy job and began taking prerequisites not knowing which medical-related program I wanted to enroll in. I vacillated between sonography, dental hygiene, and even dentistry!! During the middle of my first semester taking pre-reqs, I decided on nursing. I applied in January of 2008 to an incredibly competitive RN program, was accepted, and will be starting the program this August. So, in one year I went from a job I absolutely detested to being accepted to a very sought after RN program. In about one month I will be starting. I can't wait!! In my next post, I will talk about all of the running around I had to do as far as getting my paperwork ready (immunizations, CPR, physical, etc.). I will also talk about orientation.
