It's official. I am a Columbia grad. I am a RN (after I pass the NCLEX June 16th). I'm so excited. I've been looking back at the journey that brought me to this point. Almost two years ago I had an awful experience with a physical therapy internship. It caused me great distress that what I thought my life was going to be was...boring. Then my mother-in-law suggested nursing school. Then something clicked and I started looking at those options. I applied to Columbia, Vanderbilt, and Xavier (a school in Cincinnati). I was accepted to Columbia which I still believe was a fluke. Then we moved to NY. Next week I'll have been here a year. I love this city more everyday. Wish me luck on the job hunt!
