"Sometimes the road is curvy, bumpy, and you don't end up where you expected. The good part is that you can always change direction. I'm going back into the hospital, but this time it will be as a nurse. I am now officially: Jenn the RN."
It is with tremendous excitement that we share with all of you the recent passing of the Nursing Boards by our alum Jennifer Jackson! Cancer could not hold this woman down from changing her direction and completing her 2 year nursing degree (and is already working towards her 4 year nursing bachelor degree). And this past weekend she passed her Boards - we are so excited to have her supporting others in the health care profession! In addition to be an alum, Jennifer is a wonderful volunteer with Wind River, speaking with fellow survivors who need a pick-me up. And it is not just fellow survivors that have benefitted from her sense of humor and deep compassion, but myself too! I am so thankful to have Jennifer in my life and cannot believe that others in need will soon experience her dedication and care too! WAY TO GO GIRL! Much love, Shannon |
