bye...

Good luck :)

I was looking at teacher cert before I decided on nursing. Both are good fields because your work matters. Good luck :).

I'm glad you stopped in to say goodbye. Most people just never post and you wonder what happened to them. Sorry to see you go though. Best of luck in your career!

You can never go wrong when you follow your heart. I was in 3 differen majors before I found nursing. More days than not I feel I've found where I was ment to be. Good luck in your new path. Have fun with the kids!!!

Thanks everyone! You are all so wonderful and will make excellent nurses!!!

Now I am convinced somthing must be wrong with me

I was all set to go to another school and get my degree in teaching, completely convinced that I was over wanting to be a nurse. At the last second, I cancelled my enrollment and instead registered for A & P 1 at community college for the spring. I couldn't do it! I can't give it up!! What does this mean???

Do I want to pursue nursing more than I thought cause it's kind of seeming that way...

So I guess I'm back :chuckle

Welcome back!!

Hey there... it's normal to second guess your thoughts and goals... you really only get one chance at it. Gotta think to yourself. What would you regret more?? Trying and realizing it's not for you? Or not trying at all and then wonder for the rest of your life if you made the right decision?

Take each day one at a time. Your destiny will map out with the choices you made. It's possible that it's still in your heart.... Have you read "Chicken Soup for the Nurses soul??" If not, I highly recommend it. It's a good book, full of touching stories by nurses and people affected by them. It's very influential.... after reading it, I realized I wanted to be one of those people, quite badly.

**Hugs** and I am glad you are back. I need as many people around me for support as I can get.

Bye and Good luck to you also.

lol omg you sound as confused as i feel. i really want to be a nurse but i am sooo scared about switching careers. i was supossed to be a dental hygienist and i just changed my major to nursing. i feel like i might regret it if i dont do good in nursing, and at the same time i feel like a quitter (gosh and i havent even started yet lol) if i dont at least try to make it. well, all i can do is hope for the best.

good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.:cheers:

Is this destiny? My CC is no longer offering their part time evening program. The program is now full time day only. I can't do that b/c I have to work (the fam is on my benefits). There's another cc in the next state over that has an evening/weekend program but the tuition is 3x as much and super competitive.... Maybe it's a sign?

It's not a sign. It is what it is. Don't just give up because it's not easy. Obstacles come up. So you half to go to another school for a couple of classes. In the big picture, what's a couple of hundred dollars more or less? You want to be home with your family. I have two little boys, and am always gone studying. I get how this major pulls you in a thousand directions, but can you think of another (important) career that will let you work a full time schedule in three-days (talk about family time)? Keep pushing forward. You'll be happy you did.
