Ok, so I had a change of plans from my last post....
I was all set to continue with my pre-reqs when I changed my schedule....to a buch of classes that have nothing to do with nursing. I decided to take this semester to "find myself" before settling into a curriculum. Now, I've never had a college advisor before, I've always just done it myself. One of my current professors approached me stating that he advises adults returning to school and would love to look over my records and form a plan of action for me. I was elated, thinking he would take me in a new direction, perhaps help me discover something new that I hadn't explored before.
He called me yesterday and said that although he didn't have my "plan of action" complete yet he had looked over my math/science grades as well as my GPA and wondered if I would consider the school's nursing program...i'm still shocked.
Anyhoo, I"m finishing up the classes I registered for (a lit class and intro to business) but looks like I'll be plugging away at my pre-reqs once again in the spring. It never hurts to learn about something new. I always thought that nursig might be my calling and now I'm pretty darn sure that it is. God works in mysterious ways, doesn't he?

Yes he does. I am a witness and can be the first one to tell a person how good God is. Right on. If you can't find the right direction, ask him and he'll lead you. Please remember that he see and knows all. What we cannot see with the physical eye, you better believe he has the master plan. Don't get me started. I am leaving now. Have a great day!!

This is so funny. At church Sunday, the guest preacher was talking to us about how God puts things into our hearts and minds to do something as long as it is good. He said that you may question whether or not it is from your own thoughts or if it is really God. He said "don't give yourself that much credit". He is right. I have always believed that God puts things into our hearts to do. I would never in a million years have thought that I would be going into nursing. But here I am! As long as you continue to listen to the Lord and not go off doing what you think is best for you, the doors will open and all things will be possible. Not to say we won't have battles, we definetly will! But nothing will stop us with the Lord beside us.
God Bless you all!
Say that TNMOMMY!!

Hello young ladies! Sorry to "but in" like this, but as am reading your posts I cannot help to feel the need to reply. I know God works wonders and He is immensly good but in my case I really don't know if nursing is what He wants me to do. It's been 3 years now since I started working on my nursing career, I started from scratch, I went back to school after 16 yrs of graduating HS. It's been hard but I've had great support from my hubby and my 3 kids, and I thought I was doing fine, I'm done with all my prereqs, until NLN time came and all my hopes were pretty much gone. I've tested 3 times and scored very low. Anyway, my point was that maybe this "nursing" thing is just my desire and not God's. This has become an obsesion! I feel I am trying so hard to become a nurse but maybe this is not for me. I had given up all my hopes and quit studying but talking to one of my sisters gave me a little bit of encouragement and decided to try one more time. I hope I know how to listen to God, after all I want to do His will and not mine.
Thank you for listening...
All you have to do is trust in him and he shall direct thy path. It is not your will, but his will. As I stated earlier, it is what he wants us to do. All we have to do is be OBEDIENT and he always shows up and shows out. I know!! Just LISTEN!!!
rnmomtobe - thank you, you are right, I know if I listen and be obedient I will eventually find my way.
God bless you!
