I have been accepted into Nursing School. Last fall I took my nursing assistant class and have my CNA certification from the state. I am still not working but I am looking for something part time. Walmart has called me back for a second interview. It would be much better to work in a long term care facility or a hospital but you have to take what you can get.
I am currently taking summer classes, Anatomy and physiology and Sociology. Summer classes are not the best; fitting 16 weeks of study into 8 weeks. I am however convinced that this is going to be no harder than the nursing classes I will start in August. This is going to be a difficult and intense 2 years.
When I was in School, all those years ago, there were two careers that I was interested in pursuing. Nursing and Engineering. Yes I know they are completely different, or are they? They are both concerned with how things work, just one is Physics and one is Biology. Well here I am 26 years later taking nursing classes.
My children are old enough to make themselves a meal and be at home by themselves. Both boys can drive, so they can take Meghan off to whatever she needs to be at. I have told them they need to let me study and if they don't I will find a quiet corner in a coffee shop somewhere. My husband is fully behind me, bless him. So now I need to be the best I can be.
I know that my crafts will suffer because of this change in my life. I also know that I will grab any time I can to do something to give my mind a rest. Perfect example is this Sunday when we are going to watch the St. Louis Cardinals play. I Should spend the six hour drive and game time studying and I might take my books in the car, I am not good at reading in a moving vehicle though so we will see.
I will try to update here when I can about what is going on.
