My biggest mistake in life was not going to Johns Hopkins Hospital School of Nursing where I would probably be earning big bucks right now as an alumni with some alphabet soup after my name. I am a nurse but my career path to success should have been much shorter. I think students today should go for the highest level of ahcievment possible, not sink into the easiest mode of life's roads of least resistance.
