I regret!

I regret not pursuing my nursing career when I was younger.

I regret not joining the Air Force after graduating! .....and I came very close to doing it. To think that I could have retired a few years ago....

I regret that I still havent started my masters :grad:

If I really think about it, I regret the fact that I didn't start nursing school when I was younger. On the other hand, if I had, I might not have met my husband, or done any of the things I HAVE done. I try hard not to regret. We come to all things at the time when we need them. Just because we know now that nursing is the career for us, it might not have been the right one for us when we were younger....

I have no regrets in nursing (yet)---I am regretting that I let the 6 and 10 year old make cookies all by themselves today!!! The kitchen has become a flour filled play land!!!

I regret...

• not starting my nursing career earlier.
  

• living so far away (1400 miles) from my grandparents, 97 and 92 yo, and not being able to see them everyday and care for them how they cared for me while I was growing up.
  

Regret not getting my nursing degree before kids! Tough to study with 2 kids running through the house!

i totally refuse to have any regrets.

i am who i am, where i am supposed to be and what i'm supposed to be doing.

simple as that.

working w/dying pts, i swore to myself many yrs ago, that i never wanted to have regrets at the end of my life.

and i will not go there.

I regret leaving University during my sophmore year, 20 years ago. So I am fixing that - I'm going back to school to pursue my BSN. Life is too short to live with regrets, so I am doing something about it.

It can be done and you are a wonderful mom for doing it!

I regret taking out so many loans for my pricey private-school undergrad degree in religion (but very glad I followed my interests and did a biology minor)...

...and I regret that with my love of humanities, health, and science, I never thought of nursing. None of my professors suggested it either (because they were grooming me for a Phd & still don't respect my decision to be "just be a nurse.")

So be it!

I'm thankful for all I've learned along the way,

and if I can learn from my regrets I'm doing pretty good!!!

No regrets, no wasted moments?

Most things I want to think I "regret" are simply things I can change with effort (probably).

I "regret" not being a better sister (I don't send bday, holiday cards - don't even have 2 of my brother's phone numbers) and family member. But, I don't know if I can "change" that, as I think I'm just naturally not a family person (neither are my father or his sisters). I blame genes.

I "regret" not being a cleaner/more organized person. But, I am trying to work on that, and would like to at least feel like my apartment is clean/organized by the time I start nursing school (14 weeks!).

I "regret" not being a better student, but I feel that I've already changed in recent years, and expect my fundamental perspective changes on education to be reflected in nursing school. (I could be absolutely incorrect, and it could really bite me in the *** later).
