In a nutshell, I am at a crossroads educationally. I have always wanted to be a nurse, have been a nurses aide, am currently taking pre-reqs for RN program ( that can also apply to an education degree) HOWEVER......
Now I am starting to think that with 4 & 10 year olds, teaching is a better option (no summers/weekends/holidays, off when the kids are off, etc...) but its 2 MORE years of schooling to be a teacher. And the money is good in teaching but the money is better in nursing. I have thought about being a school nurse, but jobs of that nature just aren't that plentiful where I live, especially if you have an associate degree vs. a bachelors in nursing. I have a few more classes to take that can be used for either major, and then I have to REALLY decide. Can anyone give me some input? Dear hubby just says "whatever makes you happy" but I would like impartial opinons!
FYI: I am currently a preschool teacher in my daughters school and really like because of the above reasons, but nursing holds great appeal to me because of the money and because of my great interest in medicine/helping people thru those times. HELP!
