Tell me I'm not the only one obsessed?

I swear that is all I can think about lately is going to nursing school. I am so glad I have managed to juggle things so I can most likely go for the August term because I don't think I could hold out till Jan 04. Anyhow, just wondering if anyone else is like this? It's pitiful. I am pregnant due in April and I am more obsessed with going to nursing school than I am with a new baby. Granted this is my 5th so the enthusiasm is just not the same any more. Ok, who else is obsessed?

Hi Teresa

I remember before I started I felt the same way, especially because I was on a waiting list for the program. I called every day to see what number I was, I had to restrain myself from calling more than that! I don't know who was happier when I found out I had gotten in, me or the poor secretary who had to answer my calls every day! :chuckle

Don't worry, it wears off soon after you start!

In the meantime enjoy planning for your baby, even though you're a pro by now with 4 other kids! When you start school you'll wish for the time to think of something other than nursing! (I know, easier said than done!)

Good luck!

OOOHHH yes,

I can totally relate. I am so glad I found this site as I think my husband probably gets sick of hearing about it. I think I have read and read and read some more. I enjoy finding out about anything to do with nursing, from the textbooks we will use to what other's experiences have been. :eek:

I know once we are in and rolling we will long for the days that we were able to just sit here and browse.:chuckle

Take care,

Guilty.:rolleyes:

One of my best friends, who happens to be an RN, just mailed me a boatload of books, from NCLEX review books to guidelines for careplans, to drug handbooks...It feels sorta silly, but I am insanely focused on this.:chuckle

So glad I am not the only one!!

At home, work, school...thats all I talk about. I know my family can't wait for me to start(a few more weeks...Jan 03') They probally feel that I will be so busy that I will not have so much time to talk about it..... :o) Right now I am like dying because its so close and yet seems like so far away....Can't wait!!!!

I was/am too :)

I love going to class and am on TOP OF THE WORLD when I drive home after 5 hours of lecture (yes a tad insane)

I love everything about it - yes it is tough... but to me it is AWESOME!!!!

And combining it with motherhood is the best!
