My name is Annie. I live in Maine and have a 13-year-old daughter. I am currently enrolled in a full-time BSN program. I work at a dual-diagnosis adult residential with a focus on substance abuse disorder, as well as a behavioral health unit. I am in recovery, so I find it very important. I am a single mom, so I work overnight. That way, I can still attend school and care for my daughter. I have always wanted to work in the mental health field, and I plan on working there for the rest of my life. My goal is to apply my knowledge of mental health to nursing. I would like to receive my bachelor's degree in nursing. My dream career would be as a psychiatric nurse practitioner.
