Introduction, Week 1
My Name is Ginalyn Cecilio. I worked full time in a hospital
as a Registered Nurse. I loved the work, enjoyed the interaction and seeing my
patients get better. Two years ago, I realized I want to move forward on my
career from bedside nursing to leadership. In order for me to accomplish this
career goal, I would have to have a Bachelor Science Degree in Nursing. Last
year, I had the opportunity to enrolled in a RN-BSN program and taking this
class will accomplish and fulfill the requirement for me to graduate in
Bachelor Science Degree in Nursing.
What do I consider to be my biggest accomplishment? I considered
greatest achievement in life is having my two beautiful grown children and my loving
husband of 26 years. They are my “rock” and support system. I do not think I can go through nursing school without their loving support. I remembered the sacrificed
they gave, in order for me to finished nursing school. Many of you can relate
that having two small children, working full time and going to school all at the
same time was not a walk-in a park. They gave me all the help to go through with it and with
great pride.
My husband and I enjoyed traveling, going out for dinner and
love to watch movies. We just saw “Den of Thieves”, “Jumanji” and last month “Star
Wars”. We tried to make time for each other, since we are family that has busy
lives. We make sure we have “date night” and “dinner date” with the four of us
to catch up with everyone’s school and work. We do not let a day go by without
calling and saying “hi” to each other.
I forgot to mentioned I also have two adorable dogs named
Hanna and Dexter. We had them since 2011 Hanna is a Pit bull terrier and she is
about 6 years and Dexter is Chocolate Pit bull and he is about 5 years old. Hanna
likes to play with her ball and Dexter likes to cuddle and play on the grass
all day long. They are friendly, loyal, very smart and highly protective.
Lastly, families and friends describe me as funny, loud,
sociable, caring and determined. I look forward to know all of you and have
some fun about our California Literature.
Hi Ginalyn! Welcome to the class. Thank you so much for letting us know about your amazing hard work in progressing in the invaluable nursing profession! I'm so glad you had what sounds like wonderful support from your family. That support makes life so much easier! Your dogs are adorable -- they look like they were waiting for a treat in that picture.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to working with you this semester!
Hey Ginalyn,
ReplyDeleteI used to work as an EMT, so I completely understand how much you enjoy being able to see your patients get better, and knowing that you are part of the process that is making that a possibility is unlike any other feeling. I have never met a person in the medical field that did not love their job, so it good to hear how much you enjoy it.
I also really respect the fact that you are going back to school in order to progress in your field, because way too often people get comfortable with where they are at and don't choose to strive for more.
Keep up the hard work, it will definitely pay off! Good luck this semester and with the rest of your program, and keep loving what you do!
Hi Ginalyn! Wow, Becoming a registered nurse is a lot of work and a lot of responsibility. I was a lifeguard once, and now I just passed a test to become a certified Pharmacy Tech. It can be pretty nerve wrecking to handle other peoples lives. I wish you luck through the rest of your bachelors as well as good luck in this class.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry it has taken me this long to say hello! Congratulations to you on your success so far. What an inspiration you must be to your family for continuing your education and enabling yourself to pursue your dreams. I just started my education journey while working full time and juggling the hectic schedules of two teenagers. I waited until they were a bit older, thinking it would be a little easier, but seeing how they too have to juggle around my schedule, I'm pretty sure it would be rough at any age. I think it's great you have such a fantastic support system and I wish you great success!
