Good evening all and happy Thursday! I’m excited (but nervous) for this new semester-session. I hope that I get to work with many, if not, all of you and get to know and understand you as well. So, a little about myself. I am a 37-year-old single mom that’s “starting over”. I’ve had about 2 years to get to know myself. To heal, to learn different techniques on how to not totally lose it (all whilst trying to keep it all together)! I’m currently enrolled in pre-health science for nursing.

I have also taken on a new job in a hospital setting for the last three months. I am on a cardiac unit, surrounded by nurses that rely on me to run things smoothly. If I’m honest, I don’t know that nursing is for me. I love the idea of taking care of others (a lot has to do with my upbringing, but I’ll save that for another time). I’m just not quite sure that I’ll be able to handle the dark side of being a nurse. Loss. We know it happens, but until you live through it, you won’t understand entirely. So, it’s still a thought. But I do know one thing. I want to complete my degree. After all, I have a little one that looks up to me.
