I HAVE BEEN WHERE SO MANY OF YOU ARE SO HERE'S MY STORY: I dropped out of HS pregnant, food stamps, section 8, dealt with domestic violence, etc. But with God I got my BSN, worked in labor & delivery, then got my MSN and became a nurse midwife, then retired to teach NCLEX and finally got my Ph.D so I can be the best NCLEX instructor in the world! I love nursing and still work at the Cleveland Clinic as an RN.
