You know how I mentioned things are getting better?
I’ve decided to return to school and become a registered nurse. It just makes sense and will multiply my income substantially. I love my job, but it just doesn’t pay enough to survive in a one income household.
I have 9 classes to take before I plan to apply for the nursing program, and after that I will have only the nursing classes to finish. So, in about 3 years I will finally be complete.
I love school. I love learning. I am not sure how easy it will be with working full time, but I am going to try really hard to at least work full time until I start the nursing program, then I will likely need to devote my time only to school-but only time will tell. Maybe by then I will find a part time job and be able to do both.
I am really excited for this. It’s definitely something I have wanted to do, even if I didn’t realize it until now. Classes start September 26—my birthday. My golden birthday. Chemistry and Psychology are first on the list.
It'll most definitely be worth it. I'm starting my prerequisites for the nursing program in about two weeks. When I had my daughter, I chose to work full time and go to school full time. It was so discouraging for me to drop out of school because of how overwhelmed I was. Now, two years later, I'm FINALLY on my way to success. And you are too ! Congrats ! Your family is beautiful.
