Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I've been a member of this board for quite some time now. When I first joined I was pretty convinced that nursing was for me. Since becomming a mom, and seeing the realities of nursing school and the career, my decision has wavered. Now I'm sure that it's just not for me. So, I'm saying goodbye. I've decided that if I'm going to ever leave the job I have now it's going to be to pursue my dream, which I've found is not nursing. honestly thought it was but if I'm having this many doubts then I'm pretty sure it's not. IMO, no one should go into this field with any doubt in their heart...

I have decided to work toward finishing my bachelors degree, in child studies. I love children and I'd love love love to teach. It's always been my dream, more so than nursing. So, I'm taking steps in that direction. I found a state school that offers bachelors degrees online so I don't need to sacrifice my job or my time with my precious family. I'm psyched!

So, thank you to all of you who have offered advice. I will never forget any of you. Who knows, maybe someday I'll be back. Until then, goodbye and good luck!!

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.

Welcome back. Two words for you: Brett Favre. Sorry, my husband is a football nut. He retired from the NFL and then "unretired" to the NY Jets. GOOD LUCK -- WELCOME BACK!

The last time I took a turn of events to be a "sign", I went with it and ended up completely miserable. I think it was just a sign that I'd learn an important lesson about making decisions based on signs ;)
