1. That is GREAT news, my dear greenbriar!
Good for her...

That will make her college life so much easier...

Of course, getting a bachelor's degree in nursing has plenty of challenges all by itself...:scared:

She will work very very hard...

Good luck to her, and congratulations!

3. it is so cool.
she had a scholarship to a different college for Engineering but decided she wanted to go the nursing route. Now that she got full books and tuition, she can save her job money for a better vehicle. Her 93 Explorer is probably not going to last much longer.

14. thank you all. I am very proud of her. Growing up she always said she was going to be a doctor
then in HS it changed to nurse, then for a while she was seriously considering the military and then for a bit wanted to go into engineering (competed for and received a scholarship) decided against that and went back to nursing.

She is really grounded and is determined to make all A's .

I am so very proud of her!!!
