Just so you know, I am officially done with my preparations for my nursing practice. Now I am officially a nurse in the Great State of Alabama. Last Saturday I received my license and next week I will complete my hospital orientation as a nurse nine years after Brookwood hired me to learn how to work as a surgical technician. I cannot express my gratefulness to the hospital and family members who made this long journey possible, but we are all glad to see this fruit. My wife is especially relieved to have me home more. I have been taking my kids to the pool almost every day after work and spending more time just sitting next to my wife on the couch after the kids are in bed. The late nights at work are now overtime instead of desperate attempts at getting enough hours to meet my family's needs. It is a good feeling. :-)
