Hi Everybody! I am Sam, a CTICU nurse in Washington, D.C. for the last (nearly) two years! I’m a second career nurse and am currently working on my BSN, which I will finish in July! I joined this community to get to be surrounded by like-minded, driven nurses with the hope of getting into CRNA school in the next year or so. I will be hopefully applying starting this July for admission next year! I got my CCRN last year and have been a preceptor on my unit, as well as a member of our Ethics committee, for over a year. I’m working on my CSC and studying for the GRE, though that is taking a backseat while I finish up my BSN and taking science courses to bolster my science GPA. I’m hoping to attend the AANA Annual Conference this year in Tennessee, as well! Wishing everybody the best of luck with everything this year and so glad to meet you all and interact in the future!! Thanks everyone!
