My name changed from Sadie Miller to Gardner but because I have not changed my licensed yet. They have to use Miller. I am married to Wadsworth Gardner. I resided in East Chicago, Indiana with my youngest son who is 9 years old. MY Oldest is 39 and he lives in Gary. I have two other kids who resided in Jamaica where my husband is at this time. I am still waiting on my husband to be allowed to come over here even though we have been together for some time. This is very frustrating.
When I first got into the RN program a Malcolm X in 1986, I was told by my instructor in the nursing program that I would never be a

nurse because I was to heavy and that I need to do something else with my life. I lost faith and the courage to continue on. I started work at the social security Administration to feed my son who was only 2. As I worked at the Social Security administration,I wanted to be a nurse, Just like my Great grandmother who was well known in the hills of Mississippi as being great Midwife. I wanted to be just like her. I remember telling this older lady at my Job what was said, to me and she was very upset and she was Pastor Wife She said ” No one direct your future but God!” The next week they had a big layoff. I was the last one hired so I was going to be fired. She brought my uniform to go back to school, because I told her that I registered the night before I found out I was going to be fired.
After tell my grandmother one of the reason I quit she was so anger and disappointed that I had not told her and that I allowed someone to talk to me like that and I believed her. Then She said,” you let no one tell you what you can’t do, because “you can do all things through Christ who strengths you.” I went to school and became a CNA and I was Valedictorian of my class and the salutatorian of all six classes. My instructor went to Triton College and I told her about what happen she advised me to go to Triton and she also told me I had what it took to be a great nurse. This gave me the spark that I needed to continue on.
My professional career begin as a LPN in 1990,then my biggest accomplished for me was getting my RN in 1997. I went through some more ups and downs whiled trying to get my BSN 2006. I had five people in the ICU and I was the only nurse in my family at the time. who could explain everything medical and I was also going through a bad divorce. I could not keep it together whiled attending school. I have work in over 15 various parts of Nursing but critical care nursing and med-surgical is what I love the most of it all.
When I got ready to go back again the APA format and online classes scared me to death. But I made a promise to my grandmother on her dying bed that I was going to finish school. Then I remember I could put my hands in the man who still the waters. And fear is not of the Lord! So I pray and ask God to help me achieve this Goal of mines to be a nurse NP. but I must get my BSN and now that I can get it sooner then I thought to myself it is time for this Girl to get on fire,because quitting is not an options anymore.
