Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
You don't want to be a LNA...you'll just wipe butts all day.
How I responded:
If you hear someone say this, just ignore them. I thought about the same thing. I was like, "Do I really want to do this?" But I thought to myself that I would be helping people. I love working with the elderly people. They make my day so much better. I love my job. I decided that I am going to continue my nursing path and become an RN.
