e. emotional status, peer relationships, preparation for the RN program, student/teacher relationships and attitudes of co-workers.).

Wishing to Pursue Graduate Study Dr. Paul Farmer of Partners in Health was asked in an interview if he knew at a young age what he wanted to do or if it was an idea that evolved over time. He replied: "You can…grow into what you want to do…grow into your aspirations." I took that to mean that personal experiences can open our eyes to possibilities and that small successes
