my new adventure

well i start my job as a pnp tomorrow, really excited even though i am living 90 minutes from home, my family has been very supportive, some of my friends on the other hand have not they keep asking why do i not get something where i can live at home simple answer there is nothing close to home, and these friends have been quite negative in their responses to me i have heard comments that alluded to the fact i don't love my husband, that we have a bad marriage or that i just did not look hard enough, believe me i cried when my husband and son left today with comforting words from my husband to enjoy my new role and have fun. i don't know why people have to rain on peoples parades i tell myself untill they have walked in my shoes then they need to keep thier mouths shut or am i just to sensitive

    These are not your friends. Your friends and family recognize the accomplishment you have achieved. It is absolutely awesome that your are starting a new job as a NP. You jump through so many hurdles to get there. Be proud, stay strong and don't listen to these idiots. It will all turn out fine. Find strong, accomplished women to hang out with. My best friend told me that I was selfish for staring grad school. I was so down after her email. She told me I was letting my son down, being selfish for wanting to go back to school! I was so surprised and shocked at her attitude. We are not even talking anymore. So I know how you feel!

    My husband and I live 165 miles apart, 3 solid hours of driving. We have done this for 1.5 years and will continue to do so for at least another 3 years.

    Some of our friends think we are nuts too. However, like you, we do it for the jobs. There is nothing wrong with that as long as both you and your husband agree to it. Besides 90 minutes isn't that far - if you had too, you could come home during the week once in awhile.

    I wouldn't listen to the naysayers. You have to do what works for you and your family.

    Agree with the above posters.

    These are not true friends. Do not dwell on their negative remarks.

    I worked 2 hours one way from my home. Did so for 10+ years. It can be done. I, too, rec'd all kinds of negative remarks. Sure, you want total support, but unfortunately, for whatever reason these individuals have (jealousy, envy, fear, etc.), you do what you have to do.

    Good luck with your new position.
