Hello all, i have been on here reading so many great threads about nursing school and the jobs. I never thought I would but I am actually wanting to do this, become a nurse. I was watching videos last night on you tube of nursing classes and such and instead of turning me away it drew me in. Now I used to hate the idea of becoming a nurse because of having to clean up patients and do scut work but honestly last night I was watching one of the videos on how to bathe a pt and I thought wow that is not bad at all because these people need someone there to do that for them because they can not do it for themselves. I want to be the person that makes these people feel comfortable at a such a hard time wether it be helping them meet basic needs or guiding them through their situation. Now I still want to become a NP but want to do RN for a little while. Sorry so long...
Well anyways I want to apply to a Bacc2 program, my family is about to move back stateside and we are going to be getting used to civilian life again. We also just bought a house and I have to get a job at least part time as a MA. My husband will be a police officer. I am so worried now that it is not going to be possible for me to work and go to nursing school. If I get into bacc2 I think I would be able to do it because I have a great family support system. We live next door to my parents and they will take my son for me.
BUT if I dont get into this coming summer i dont know if I should try to do the traditional BSN especially if I can not work at all during it. It seems like I am reaching for something way far out there. Again sorry for the babbling, it helps me to figure things out more :)
Just realized this is my second post on this matter...you all must think I am crazy LOL I dont have anyone here I can talk to about this, no advisors, nothing...so guess I am using you guys for that hope that is ok :)
