Message from Nicola Crane

Hi, my name is Nicola Crane and I currently work as an RN at New Hanover Regional Medical Centers Emergency Department. I have been there a little over year as prior to that I lived in GA and worked in a step down unit. I love to hang out with my kids and husband at the beach boogie boarding, swimming, walking and sometimes just watching a movie at home. My husband is currently in Iraq for the fifth time, so I am juggling a lot and trying to make sure I am as organized as possible for these next two semesters. My main reason for going back to school, even though it feels like I never left, is that I want more doors opened for my career and I have worked so hard to stay educated that to stop now doesnt seem to make sense. Ideally I want to finish my MSN but I am not sure which pathway I want for that. I have taken classes online before but never four at once so this will be somewhat challenging but it seems adequate preparation and organization will be key. I cant wait to hear about all of you and hope to meet some of you over the next few months. (posted on 8/19, 2008)
