I swear, lately I have been the most wishy-washy person ever!!! So, I think I am going to put off grad school for a long while. I actually just got offered a phone interview & will tell them that I am no longer interested.
This is my reasoning: my husband & I met in the military & started college as soon as we got out. We got married during my first semester of undergrad. He graduates a year from now & we really want to start having kids (especially since we're not getting any younger). So, I think I'll just wait to start grad school once our kids start school. That way, I can just work & focus on my marriage for the next year w/o having to worry about homework etc...I want to focus on my dh w/o having the military or school distract me! Then, we can try & get pg. I really want to enjoy my pg & having a baby. In the meantime, I'll just be getting more experience as an ob RN, which I know I'll love. Others tell me I should just begin grad school now so my kids don't remember me being in school. Many of my instructors suggest this. But I'm starting to think that I just want to live for awhile w/o worrying about grades. Plus, we have TONS of loans....I need to work to pay those off. i'm kinda sad that i won't be going to grad school but i think its the best thing for now.
thank you all for your well wishes!!! I start on postpartum in a month!!!! I'm so proud to be a nurse like the rest of you!
