I have been a Registered nurse (RN) for almost 30 years. This profession has been a blessing in my life. There are many nursing programs available, such as LPN, RN, LPN to RN bridge programs, associate degree programs, bachelors, masters programs, doctoral, the list seems endless. These days you can do your practicum at a hospital and much of your coursework can be completed on-line. The on-line options, weekend classes and evening classes allow us to work and attend college at the same time. If financing your education is a problem, there are many programs available such as tuition reimbursement and repayment programs at the state and federal level. Veterans Affairs and Indian Health offer repayment programs. There are many options available to nurses, such as full-time work, part-time, PRN, agency, traveling to name a few. Positions may be offered, Monday through Friday, weekends only, 8 hour shifts, 12 hour shifts, many options are available. If you want to touch a person’s life, nursing is the perfect choice.

inspiration with empower

 I had not blogged for quite some time.  Between family, work and school and running ads for another company, it fell by the side. Then last night, I listened to an Empower video!! That was so inspiring! It finally came time to realize, that what I was doing was not working!! WOW! It has not been working in many ways, actually. I believed what I had been told, that an education leads to freedom. Well, guess what, I have a masters degree. I had been out of college about 20 years and went back to college to further my education. After 20 years, I went back and got my bachelors degree, masters and now am a PhD candidate. And guess what,  I am still working 12 hour shifts, missing my grandchildren ballgames, not able to take them on vacations when I want.   My entire life revolves around when the hospital needs me to be there! Here is another harsh reality, I am not getting any younger!  So I will begin again, this time with a mission and a purpose and a better understanding! Empower will give me the inspiration to take another path!!
