My name is Karen Christiansen. I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, which is where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. I am currently a student at Pensacola Junior College. I am applying to the Registered Nursing program that is offered at PJC. I hope that my education and life experiences will help me to better relate to any future patients that I may have once I become a Registered Nurse.

When I was 3 years old, my parents enrolled me in a private school called Aurora Gardens Academy. I attended AGA from pre-school through 8th grade. I then went on to Saint Mary's Dominican High School, an all girls, Catholic high school. After graduation, I attended the University of Southern MIssissippi in Hattiesburg, where I studied music performance. I was there for two semesters when I decided I want to go back home and attend the University of New Orleans. It was there that I earned my Bachelors degree in Sociology. Now, I am enrolled at Pensacola Junior College, where I am applying to the Registered Nursing program that begins in January 2008.

My very first job was at Smoothie King in the New Orleans Center. I started that job right after I graduated from high schoollI worked there that summer and then on weekends when I would come home from Southern Miss. I continued to work there for about another year. I stopped working there because of conflicts with my school schedule. Then, in December of 2001, I started working at French Quater Diaquiris, a place that a very good friend of mine managed. I worked there 3 nights a week while I was still in school. I remained a bartender until I finished college at UNO. In 2005, I moved to Pensacola, Florida and started working at People's First Community Bank. It was a part time teller position. I worked at that bank for about five months when a much better opportunity came along. I took a ful time position at Navy Federal Credit Union. I really liked working there but in December of 2006, I had to quit work due to complications with my pregnancy.
I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost two years. We have a beautiful baby girl named Alivia. She was born on March 29, 2007 and she is just the greatest person I have ever met. Aliva is my world. Eventhough being a full time mommy does take up most of my time, I decided this past summer that I am finally going to persue the Registered Nursing degree that I have wanted for so long. I am also in the processes of appyling for a part time position with the United States Postal Service. (Hopefully I will get the position so that I can spend most of my paycheck buying toys for Christmas!)
I hope to get my Nursing Degree in the very near future. I would really like to work in Labor and Delivery or in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I plan on having more children eventually....well maybe just one more but until I am dine with the RN program. I will probably stay in Pensacola for a little while but I have full intentions of moving back to New Orleans where I would still be a nurse. After that, I'm not really too sure. I guess I'll go where ever the road takes me.
