Intro

Me

Hello yall, my name is Jackie. I am single work at home mom, with a 10 year old tween girl and currently reside in Utah. My previous career in the corporate world was Preferred Customer Service for UPS for 6 years. Overall 8+ years in inbound and outbound customer service altogether.

All my life, since I turned 18 dream was to work at home as an Entrepreneur, all my life I said daily to myself I will retire from the outside workforce by the time when I was 30. 2 months before my 30th birthday, that dream came true :) and ended my two weeks at my job on March 23rd 2012.

Now I am sure you are wondering, well thats great but what does that have to do with Nursing? Good Question! :D At the end of February 2012, I ended up in the hospital in an emergency situation to have appendicitis removed. I was in the hospital for a few days, I had nurses in and out and different docs checking on me. But when the CNAs & Nurses came in, I was just in awe of their job and KNEW that this customer service career I despised and did not think of it as a career at all and hated it (even though I was good at it and made good money). I KNEW at that moment, that is something I wanted to do.

But the thing was, I was able to quit my job and work at home and did, so I didnt really pursue it because my first dream had already came true. Now, 2 years later, I still see myself wanting to become a CNA and work part-time in an old folks home or with people who have disabilities as that is the goal, but possibly the ultimate goal is to become an actual RN.

Now I never in my WILDEST dreams thought I would want to pursue a career in the healthcare field as anything, I just for some reason thought that wasnt for me and that I was above that. Im not lol and it is something I happen to really want to do and get excited over. : D Crazy how life works huh?

So this blog I am going to talk about my adventures in getting into this field and what I am doing to get there. I am also seeking out anything related to nursing online as I am excited about the field! I was even more excited when I found pink nurse items like stethoscopes and such lol!

Now I bet yall are wondering well I thought you wanted to be a business person and AS Hannah Montana would say "You Get the Best of Both Worlds" ;) is the only thing that pops into my head when I think about the two lol! 

Trust me the last few days I have been digging deep within myself and a little scared about this new move of mine but I welcome the change! 

Here are some related posts to my career change on my main blog (not in order):
