Thank you...I think I will speak with an advisor soon. I agree that I really need to decide if this is what I really want. Maybe there's something else out there for me - I'll need to think hard on this one.

Hi! I'm thinking about going to school to be a school nurse. I'm a 31 yr old stay at home mom of 2 girls, 4 & 6. My 4 yr old turns 5 this summer and will going to school next year, which would be the perfect time for me to start going to school. Here is my thinking for this career path, and someone PLEASE tell me if I doing this for the right or wrong reasons. I always been interested in nursing but never wanted to spend the time going to school to pursue it. When I had children I definately didn't want to do that and miss out on any part of their lives. Now that they will both be in school next year, I could go to school when they are at school and be home for them in the afternoons which is perfect. Then, after schooling, being a school nurse would also be perfect because I'd work the same hours they are in school. Is my thinking right on here or am I missing something? Also, I'm having trouble pushing myself foward after doing a little research. Here in the Dallas area, most school districts require a BSN, and I can't imagine going to school for 4 years or probably even longer in my case. Although I was an a student 13 years ago in high school, I hated studying and now that I don't HAVE to go to school, I'll have to MAKE myself go to school and do this work, and I don't know that I want this bad enough to do this. Maybe I just need to focus on the good things this will bring instead of all the bad things, and just deal with it and move forward. Any words would be appreciated. Thanks!
