Thanks diarygirl.. I am getting better about the divorce.. tough year though! thanks for asking! MrChicagoRN.. Thanks! You asked a good question ! What do I want to do? I want to go to school and be a nurse. I got offered a job as assistant manger in a book store ..where I work part time. I have helped run a family business for 15 years..but I want something different. IF I was ten years younger I would go try forensic nursing. But before I think that far ahead I need to make it through the prerequisites first..thanks for the encouragement! Tweety.. thanks for the info and the good luck! Thanks Barbara.. congrats to you for all you have accomplished that is awesome! My kids are grown ... I have the time the finances and motivation! My family is supportive for the most part!

Future RN-PA...Thanks so much for your encouragement!! I appreciate more than you know! It has been a dream of mine and gave it up to support my ex husbands goals and now although a little afraid of failure.. I am going to work hard to see my dream through! I will keep you posted thanks! katiebugg.. thanks for your thoughts and encouraging me to go for it! Congratulations on following yours! You are right I will get older no matter what I do! Thanks so much! nursinghopefully..thanks so much for your post... I feel that way after taking a class.. I love to learn! My daughter took some medical class and I helped her study and she looked at me and said how do you know that stuff. I told her I just read all I can about medical issues because it so interests me! I will keep you posted thanks!

I started to take some classes in my twenties to be a nurse .. quit to get back with old boyfriend.. not good idea.. now ex husband.. Any now 24 years later I still want to be a nurse. I worked hard for years in family business. and raised two kids.. I have been taking a few classes here and there and will finally be able to be full time in a community college in the fall! I am hoping to apply to nursing school in a year. Some people say I am too old.. but I am thinking I would rather try and fail then not try! I do have money for private nursing school but I read if you do that then you can't get a masters..because they aren't accredited. I don't know if that is true or not.... anyway..I love this site!!!
