I Aspire to Be YOU

I aspire to be you... these are words I would often mutter to myself as I walked into the community college I took my pre requisite courses for the nursing program as I saw nursing students on campus. I thought oh just to be to that level. Kinda like when you’re a freshman looking upto a senior in high school. 

Then, I revisited my prior private college and low and behold, I was accepted into my former nursing program... and I was THAT nursing student.

After I graduated, I saw those who were passing their nursing boards in the same light... I aspire to be you. I worked hard and studied non stop. After shortcoming one test, I made it on my second attempt. I was a Registered Nurse. 

I feel into a new grad position in my department at work which gave me a great start to my nursing journey. All the while, I would see RN circulators. Again, I heard myself saying, I aspire to be you. 

Today, I was offered my nursing dream. I will be the newest OR circulator with my community hospital in July.

I aspired, I worked hard, I dreamt and went out on a whim outside of my comfort level. I took chances and prevailed. 

My career dreams became reality with the grace of God and good people.
