Tina's Story
Update 2010: After 2 years of pre and co reqs, I have been accepted into the RN program at CAC, I start in August 2010. I can't wait, those of you who can remember, I wanted to go into nursing back in high school.
Some of you have asked about my health status now as there has been a lot going on. Well I am happy to say there are no more surgeries planned, nor hospitalizations in my near future. Trust me with over 20 surgeries and major procedure over the past 6 years, I am thrilled to not be in the surgery mode. I am worried about the clinical portions of the nursing program as I do still have major pain and fatigue limitations. My surgeon says that I should be able to do this, but that I must keep up with the physical therapy throughout the 2 year program, and to...Expand for more
really monitor the fatigue (blood sugar and anemia issues) and adjust as appropriate. His most meaningful words were "just do whatever it takes to get through school, then you can choose the physical type of nursing you want".
Keith and I are still in CG, he is still working with the City as the Fleet Manager. Yes, he still likes to play with police cars, fire trucks, and all those giant land movers at the landfill. Big boys and their toys...but he gets paid for it :)
Youngest son still working in corrections and busy making a whole new life for himself. Our oldest son left the sherrif's dept to return to school, get his degree and update his Marine Reserve status to full time Marine, in the flight program. He and I will both graduate at the same time in 2012.
