Violeta finally successfully realized her cherished dream of becoming a nurse, transferring to the University of San Francisco and being admitted to its highly selective nursing program.  She graduated in December 2004 and passed the RN Licensure Exam last April 2005.  Violeta currently works as a children’s oncology nurse at Children’s Hospital in Oakland, and hopes to earn a Master’s degree in Nursing one day.  Buena Suerte (Good luck), Violeta!
