Thank you all so much for your comments & encouragement!❤️ After lots of prayer & research I have enrolled to start 2 of my basic classes this fall, I will only have 2 more to get done after that & then can apply to the nursing program here at my local college! Yay! I am SO excited & SO nervous!! I’ve met with a couple of advisors & they have been very helpful! My husband still thinks I’m crazy, but he is supportive in his own special way! Haha! So, I’m doing it! I’ll keep everyone posted!

Thank you SO much!!! ?❤️ Yay for you!! Congratulations!! That makes me feel SO much better!! Everyone except for my dad is telling me that I am CRAZY to walk away from my job, but my heart is just leading me so hard into nursing!! I’m so glad that I’m not alone in this big change! I am so scared!! I told my husband if I get accepted into nursing school, then it’s meant to be. I checked with my local college & the advisor said “you didn’t do as badly as you thought you did 10 years ago, you would only have 4 basic classes to do before you applied to nursing school!” That sold me instantly lol

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here, so I am sorry if I ramble! Just to give you a little info on me for this situation, I am 29, I have a great husband who has an awesome job & we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. So about 10 years ago when I was 18 years old & didn’t take life seriously, I started college & majored in nursing. It has always been my dream job! I didn’t even take my basic classes seriously, & quit after 3 semesters. I went to cosmetology school, did wonderfully & passed everything with flying colors (even my state board exams). I have ALWAYS LOVED helping people & I thought I got that from doing hair. I loved making people so happy in my chair. I have now been doing hair for over 8 years & have a very large clientele & make good money, but I work myself TO DEATH. I cannot say no to people & squeeze them in even when I don’t have time. I work 4-5 days per week. Always 10-12 hours per day. I don’t eat, pee, or have any breaks. I also have no retirement, or benefits with my job because I am self employed (I booth rent). I put so many hours on myself! Anyway, in the last year, I have become SICK of the spoiled people coming in & cussing me out if I don’t answer their text at 1am, or if their prom updo doesn’t look just like the Pinterest picture! Or if they don’t have platinum hair after one session. I cannot take it. These people are RIDICULOUS about their HAIR. I could understand if they were in pain, or needed surgery, but it’s HAIR!? I’m very thankful for the business I have, but I also feel God calling me to do something MORE for people that goes deeper than just outward appearance. I have grown up so much since the first time I went to college & I am SO ready to fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a nurse! Am I crazy for going back to college at almost 30?! I would only have 4 core classes to take before I applied to the ADN program. My husband thinks that I have lost it to walk away from my very successful salon, but I cry every night because I am so unhappy! He thinks that I won’t like the schedule because I set my own. But I work SO SO SO much. I would love to have set hours & be DONE at a certain time & not have people blowing up my phone at all hours of the night about hair!!??? Has anyone else done this & been happy? Will I be able to still work some & balance school & my family? I am SO worried & kind of feel crazy too now that I’ve typed all of this out!?
