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!!
