Loretta Mack, a 69-year-old grandmother from Albany, Georgia, has recently achieved a lifelong dream of hers - becoming a registered nurse. In an interview with WALB News, Mack joyfully exclaimed, "I did it!" It was a moment that she had been waiting for and working towards for many years.
Mack's journey towards becoming a registered nurse was not an easy one. For six years, she worked as a certified nursing assistant, gaining valuable experience and knowledge in the medical field. However, Mack faced many challenges along the way. Despite this, she remained determined and driven by her love for people and her desire to take care of them. She believed that becoming a registered nurse would allow her to be a great example for others.
With the support of a resource nurse, Mack finally embarked on her dream of becoming a registered nurse. She was surrounded by a loving and supportive community, including travel nurse Heather Jackson who extended her contract to serve as Mack's preceptor nurse. Jackson was drawn to Mack's kind spirit and fun-loving personality. She described Mack as someone who not only did her job well, but also took the time to sit and talk with her patients, making sure they were comfortable and well-cared for.
Mack's family also played a crucial role in her journey towards achieving her dream. She expressed her gratitude towards her sister, grandson Ramondo, and grandson Julian for their unwavering support. Mack also acknowledged the doctors who took the time to assist her with practice tests and homework, saying that it felt like everyone was rooting for her to finish school.
Finally, after years of hard work and determination, Mack's dream has become a reality. She is filled with a sense of encouragement and determination to now extend that same encouragement to others. In her own words, "Age is just a number. I don't know who came up with that, but it's just a number. I truly believe that at any age, you can do whatever you set your mind to. If you really want to do it, you can do it."
Mack's story is a testament to the fact that age is just a number and it's never too late to pursue your dreams. As a 69-year-old registered nurse, she has become an inspiration to many, proving that it's never too late to achieve your goals. Her story is a reminder that with hard work, determination, and a supportive community, anything is possible.
