I am very happy for you and hope you have found the area of Nursing
which our common interests lies to be both profitable and
enlightening for you! As for me I've been enlightened but the profits
are of the intanbible type! Do not get discouraged 2.5 years really
is not that long in the sceme of things!

Peace,
Have a Blessed Day!
