The Tightrope Path to Success

This book is written to take you on a journey into someone's pain and suffering while trying to achieve success as well as to guide students pondering whether to enter the field of nursing (e.g., in becoming an LPN/LVN or an RN). You may classify this book as the combination of the story of a mother's pain, a conversation between a success coach and a student, or you may call it "food for thought." Either way, you will be inspired by what it offers as you revel through these pages, immerse yourself with enthusiasm, passion, and/or genuine emotion into the moment that will assist you in getting the most out of what the written words will provide. The events and ideas are true; the names have been changed to protect individual identities.

The story is being told to inspire and motivate. As the sun gently bowed its sleepy head to give way to the dark and starry night, the busy world is calm, and the bird takes its solemn flight. Sometimes life takes us to the top of the hill or the bottom of the valley until our dreams are fulfilled. If my story became your beacon of success, then my suffering was not in vain. Go forth and take on the challenges to be successful.

I did it, and you can too.
