Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
Why would you want a PhD...you don't need it!
How I responded:
I helped them understand how a PhD in nursing with a focus of education will help me in my current role by sharing the link between nursing theory, research design, and data analysis. I shared how my research would promote social change for nursing students and improve the transition to practice of those hired to our region.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I am the sole provider for my family of four. My husband was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago and has been unable to work. To complete my studies, I continued to work a full time job and on occasion a part time role to meet our needs.
