That's the way I feel about Central Pennsylvania after living in New York (not the city) 54 years.

I was born & raised in Ohio, but then moved out to Southern California for 3 years. I moved back here to Ohio. There's no place like home. The grass may look greener on the other side, but I love it here & plan on staying.

Funny, that's how I felt too after living in Chicago (the actual city) for 4 years! I just moved back here 3 weeks ago and it feels good. Don't know if I'll stay here FOREVER (still feel a pull towards San Diego :) ) but for now, it's home and where the heart is.

I was born and raised in Ohio, moved to Virginia then Maryland. I remember there was a headline in the Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Last One Out, Turn Off the Lights."

I was born & raised in NW Ohio, lived in AL, CA, & NY - Moved back in the 80's and for me, this is home. I love our flatlands, cornfields and "amber waves of grain." I'll probably be a Buckeye until the day I die!

This is my home, Ohio, love it.

Okay, so there could be more sunny days and warm weather, but I'm such a homebody. I'm from Lancaster and am looking for others in my area for friendship and advice on the Nursing Field.

I am 24 years old and have been working for Jenny Craig Weight Management for over a year. I love Nutrition, Promoting Health and Wellness, and Fitness. I have an Associate Degree in Sport and Fitness Management from Columbus State and am now ready to take that next step in my life: return to school so that I can, so call, "better myself." I need some major advice...

Back in 99, I was in the Nursing program at Hocking Tech. for two quarters. Looking back, whether it was nervousness, self-doubt, immaturity, well, whatever it was, I dropped out. I didn't even give it a chance. I'm at that stage in my life where I know what I enoy: helping others, counseling, nutrition and health, and feel as though Nursing could be a possibility. I feel that my beginnng years in college lead me to Nursing through pressure and of course, being unsure on "what I wanted to do with my life" into the program. My dream back then was to be a labor coach. I feel right now that I'm torn between becoming a Nurse or becoming a Registered Dietician. I'm like the "few" that are "not too sure" about handling blood, smells, and needles, but I think that I am a strong person with a drive to succeed. I feel like I've gotten some message, maybe through God? to keep Nursing an option. But I don't feel that super secure feeling, like "OMG, I wanna do Nursing, no doubt." I am a somewhat insecure person so the thought of jumping back into something I once dropped out of makes me feel uncertain. What do you all think? How did you know you want to make Nursing your career? I feel as though Nursing a secure field with a lot of opportunity. But I love the idea of becoming an RD and felt maybe I could crosstrain into this type of field?

What are your best feets of advice do you think you could offer?

Thank you!
