Just graduated high school and started working my first job at In-N-Out. School was hard and I needed to make money to support myself so I didn’t prioritize school . I wanted to do nursing but felt I wasn’t smart enough -
My sister and I both decided to get out of our bad relationships. I moved in with her and we supported each other. I also auditioned at Disneyland and just started working there. Was going to college off and on, not taking it very seriously -
I wanted to go to school, and was inspired to become an esthetician. I always struggled with bad skin growing up and actually wanted to be a dermatologist someday. Decided to try this out. I was working at a spa and at Disneyland for a while. -
This was a crazy time for everyone. I went back with my mom and helped care for my grandma and brothers. I did not do much else with my time but I wish I did more.

Became an eyelash tech. Was trying to do any work I could and learn new skills. Hated doing this lol -
I hated eyelash extensions and wanted to try something new so I started waxing at European wax center. I did a lot of brazilians and a client told me that they appreciated how comfortable I made them and that I should be a nurse. I took this as a sign but was scared to pursue at the time. -
Decided I wanted to try something new and travel. I loved the training more than I liked flying. It was a hard training to finish, a lot of people got sent home. I felt if I could do this then I could do other hard things (like nursing school) -
I did not like flying, I only enjoyed it when I was talking to the passengers, especially if there were kids on board. They let me come back full time and I was so happy -
I lost my role at Disney for no longer having “the look”. I thought hard and decided to finally give my all into nursing. What I always wanted to do. Did it all in less than a year
-
I auditioned and got a fun role at Disneyland. -
I kept looking for nursing programs but would not get in or it just did not work out. A friend told me about United Nursing College, and after visiting the school I knew I loved it and felt like I was meant to go there.
-
So happy, relieved, and grateful for this moment 3
-
Yay!!! Finally started the program and met many awesome people. SO thank ful -
-
We finished our first semester!! 25% nurse. I am so proud of us and so happy to be on this journey with this cohort. -
In progress. Loading… -
So excited for this day. I do not know what I want to do but I am very interested in labor delivery, neonatal, pediatric and psych. I want to dip my toes in all specialties and be well versed! -
I want to pay off my student loans QUICK! And live comfortably and enjoy my career
-
I don’t know if it is in the cards for me or not. But I wouldn’t mind finding someone to settle down with and start a family -
If I have kids I will hopefully have them around this time. If not I will be able to travel more and work on my career goals faster 3 -
I either want to be a travel nurse or have a nursing job that allows me to take time off and travel -
No matter what happens I will become an NP. I don’t know what I will do yet… maybe FNP,PNP, Psych or woman’s health! All interest me for different reasons!
-
Regardless if I have my own children or not, I will be the best auntie and be family oriented. This is my sister and youngest nephew 3 -
Between becoming an NP and retiring, I want to keep growing and be financially stable, healthy, run my own practice or start teaching the next generation of nurses
-
My goal is to be able-bodied and full of energy as I get older. A 70 year old who is still hiking, dancing, doing her own thing. This might be my boyfriend I just found at 70 years old lol
