Hello all! I am a newbie to the site and have to say that I absolutely love it. All of the support on here is amazing. Well here is my story. I started college in 2002 as a biology major knowing that I wanted to do something in the medical field. I went to school part-time because I had to maintain a full-time job. In 2005 I found out I was pregnant and had a really rough pregnancy. After my son came, I had no time for labs and couldn't even consider clinicals so I changed my major to business. I then got a job at a CPA firm and have been working as an accountant for 3 years. Well I am miserable and hate sitting at a desk all day. I feel like I was robbed of what I wanted to do with my life. Now, I want to go back to school for a second degree in nursing and my husband is really upset with me. He is so happy that we are finally living comfortably and not living pay check to paycheck anymore. He thinks I am crazy for wanting to change professions because I make really good money, but he just can't understand that I am going nuts at work. I spend a quarter of my work day researching nursing and studying for the entrance exams when I should be working, but I just can't stay focused. I have applied for the LPN program in the area because the RN application passed a while ago. So I know I will have to quit my day job because night classes are not an option. I guess I am just asking if I am crazy for wanting to do this. For wanting to go back living on a tight budget and getting a job for the next year where I will be lucky to make half what I make now and that is if I work full time. I really want this and am willing to work hard for it. My son is three now and he is so much easier to take care of. It might not seem right but I know that if I need to study now, I can let him watch a cartoon for a while. That wasn't an option back then.
