Allow me to introduce myself...

Welcome to my first post! Thanks for visiting! I decided to start a nursing blog because I've enjoyed reading about other experiences in nursing school and thought someone might enjoy reading mine! I will be entering nursing school in July 2009 (as of this writing, next month. Yikes!). I've worked corporate America jobs for about 6 years and have FINALLY decided to do what I was suppose to do 6 years ago..go to nursing school! However, I don't regret taking the road I did..because I've met some awesome people along the way who I now count as friends.

I chose the name "Destiny's Nurse" because we are all on a journey to our destiny..whatever it may be. The road leading to our destiny is sometimes more important than the actual destination. And I just thought it was a cool way to combine "Destiny" and "Nurse". So no..it's not a shout-out to Destiny's Child *wink
Also, I know I'll have some interesting stories to tell..so to protect the innocent, guilty and plain dumb...all names and identifiable characteristics will be changed.

There are various ways to become a nurse - Diploma program, Associates program, Bachelor's program, Accelerated Bachelor's program, Direct-Entry Masters program. I chose a diploma program for a various reasons - most important, I wanted to have as much experience clinically as possible. I also love this particular school's history and knowing that they produce some of the best nurses in the state..just confirmed my reason in choosing this school. I also can do a RN-MSN program when I'm done since I already have my Bachelors degree in a non-nursing field. I hope to one day become a Critical Care Nurse Practitioner..but we shall see!

That's about all for now! I'm going to enjoy my two weeks of freedom before the grind really starts :)
