She did it…officially received the word that she is a fully licensed Registered Nurse. Her long, long journey has come to an end.

The starts and stops of college, the return home amid pre-requisites, the acceptance at an out-of-state nursing program, the newfound love of her life, the 2 years of commutes to save her sanity, clinicals, preceptors, study, study, marriage and more study, exams, graduation, BSN, NCLEX,  and finally today the much awaited one and only unique-to-Cara assignment of a license number defining her as a full fledged RN-capable of undertaking, managing and providing healthcare for her clients in the best possible way with the highest skills of her profession

To my daughter, who has fulfilled her goal and dream and can now go out into the world and her career of service to others-Congratulations, I love you.
