I am a 40-year-old woman who has two small children, a husband, two cats and a home. A little over a year ago, I decided to go back to school to become a registered nurse. This blog will be about that journey as well as personal stuff along the way. I hope you enjoy it. I think I will enjoy writing it.
So, last spring semester I took Anatomy and Physiology Part I, Math 101 and Psychology (Human Growth and Development). I absolutely loved getting back into school. I know, that sounds really weird, but I do love school. This is funny because I hated school during high school. Oh well. Then last summer (2006) I took Anatomy and Physiology Part II and Math (Probability and Statistics.) I have really been fortunate to get really awesome professors. Those courses gave me enough to get a "PreNursing Certificate" which is not really a paper certificate. But it is a way to get into the nursing program here. I was given a slot for January 2008. So, I have a year to wait.
I hate having to wait. But I am trying to spend my time wisely. Last Fall I took the semester off. This semester I am taking Microbiology and Math 102 (Algebra.) I have two professors that are out-of-this-world wonderful. Again, I am loving it. I get to go out into the world and be around other adults and have adult conversations without any children interupting me. It is wonderful.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my kids. But, I have been a stay-at-home Mom for 7 years now and I am ready to get back out into the adult world. I am not cut out to be home forever. I think my children are better off when I am happy. Like the saying goes: "If Mama ain't happy, nobody is happy!" I agree with that.
I think that is enough for my first post. I have to go get the children to bed.
Good Night
