Are you happy ?
I have been learning and exploring the medical field since I was in high school (15yrs old). My school offered a health academy program for students who were interested in the field. It was from 10th-12th grade. I ended up doing CNA as my ROP class my senior year. Since then I have been a cna for 6+ years and I’m currently in an accelerated BSN program/ nursing school. I fell in love with the field. I have worked in skilled nursing facilities, sub acutes, hospital (med-surg, tele, onc, icu). I cant see myself in any other career. I hope to get my Nurse Practitioner one day (maybe a DNP🤔) while I work on that, I want to get certified as a CCRN. I’m not sure which specialty I want yet (I have 2 years left to figure it out) but I’m leaning towards Pediatrics and Mother-Baby

I absolutely loved my career choice. I was a speech language therapist after spending 15 years as a pharmacy tech. Unfortunately I was in a horrible car wreck which ended my career. Now I'm a disabled stay at home wife. All my kids/ grandkids have flown the coop and it's just me and my two dogs. My husband works on
