my name is Brittney Dennis, I am 33 years old. I am a mother of two beautiful children a 8 y/o daughter and 11 year old son. Im currently a LVN and have been one for 6 years. I was a certified medical assistant for 6 years prior to becoming a nurse. Im studying transitional nursing at ntcc to advance my career from Lvn to RN. My goal since i was a little girl has always been to become a nurse. As a young girl i used to help my aunt prick her finger and check her blood sugar and i enjoyed that and assisting her with things she struggled with as a elderly women. It made me feel good to be able to help her and just seeing the impression it made on her life. My reasoning for wanting to become a nurse is because i enjoy taking care of others, i feel like nurses make a difference in a persons life, and it leave a lasting impression. My career goals are to finish RN school start and manage my own hospice home health company.
some challenges i face is being a single parent of two. I have no financial support or receive not financial assistance. I have to pay 100 percent out of pocket for school, work full time to pay bills, pay for school and financially provide for my children. This scholarship would be very beneficial for me and would help me pay for tuition, books, uniforms, and school supplies. I am can overcome adversity, I think deeply, and i am passionate about Nursing.
