Is nursing my future?

Published

I am currently a 20y/o hair stylist in Texas, thinking about going back to school to become a BSN. I have always had an affinity for math and science, and I love working with people. I have always had a lot of compassion for other people, which makes me think I'd be a great nurse. I also am married and have a toddler at home, so that could make things a little harder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

If you're serious about becoming a nurse, you'll need to develop a plan... otherwise, it will just remain a dream.

Suggest you start by investigating the educational requirements & available programs in your area. It will require hard work & (very probably) changing your current lifestyle in order to shift your priorities because at some point, your focus will need to be on your education. This may mean cutting back your work hours & re-arranging child care. Talk to your hubby and make sure he is on board first because he will also be affected by all the changes.

Best of luck to you.
