About

My dream as an eight year old girl was to be a nurse. Through dedication and eliminating "fail" from my vocabulary, my dream became a reality in 1990. As a single parent of two daughter and with my accomplished Associate degree in nursing, the world was ours to concur. Life flew by, I remarried, girls grew up, girls married, and moved away. I began to dream about my BSN. Again through perseverance and eliminating "fail" from my vocabulary, I set out to concur my BSN dream. This will become a reality in May 2015.
