Howdy Erin,
my name is Sealja and I am a recent RN grad (did have LPN and worked 9 months through my last year of school) - received my last license as of Aug 8, 03. My e-mail is vila@ncidata.com, I don't know if you would like to interview a person so wet behind the ears in this field. If ya don't anyway, I would like to tell you it took me two tries to finish the schooling, and it was worth every second. The work is hard, mentally stressing, and incredibly rewarding. I was right the first time I went to school, and am glad I came back to it.
Whatever you find in life, I hope you enjoy it, and hope you carry with you the heart to become the best person (nurse) you can be!
Sealja
