Getting a Bachelor of Science in Nursing
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was to play with my dolls and pretend that they were sick. My mom even bought me a black nurse bag and the little white cap to wear while I was ‘attending to the sick’. I told her that one day I would be the best nurse that there ever was and she agreed.
Now that I’m older I am pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse at an excellent college in my hometown. Their program for nursing is one of the best healthcare programs in MO. After I am finished with the 15 month program here at the Sanford Brown College, St Peters and am awarded my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I am planning on going online to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses to obtain licensure in nursing. With this additional licensing I will be able to choose from a more enhanced group of employment opportunities.
I can still remember one time that I was at Dr. Moore’s office for a check up and the nurse that came in to give me my shots asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I pulled out my play nurse hat and put it on my head and answered; “I’m going to be the best nurse in Missouri”. I am now working towards that goal.
