Thank you...I'm just freaking out right now. And I'm feeling sick again. I slept but I guess I still need to take care of myself.

My grandma had shoulder replacement surgery. I spent the night in her room. I kind of slept. I got sick though. My throat was bothering me and when I woke up at 3 in the morning (I had gone to bed at 12:30) I was about to puke. So maybe the fact that I'm sick isn't helping me think right now but... Seeing my grandmother in so much pain, I broke down. There was even blood on her bandage thing. The thing is, I don't get sick from looking at wounds or anything like that. Maybe it's just the fact that it was my grandma... Her LPN was amazing though. One of the most caring women I've ever met. She got me some blankets and pillows and she didn't need to do any of that. She was so gentle with my grandma. Anyway, my point is. Now I'm freaking out that I won't be able to do this job. And I don't want to waste my time on a degree that will get me a career I can't even handle. No one has ever explained this to me. And I've searched it but right now I can't think clearly. What duties do RNs have exactly as opposed to LPN's and CNA's

I'm still not sure at all. Pretty much everyone I've talked to has said "OH! I WANT TO BE A NEONATAL NURSE!" As cool and important as that is, I want to know what other things are out there that are enjoyable. I've researched this a little but I want to see what everyone else's opinion is.

Ugh...It figures that it won't give me an advantage. But bio is definitely helping me out a lot. At least if I can't manage to find a job as a RN I could maybe try and be a teacher. Not my favorite option but it's better than no other option.

By the time I graduate with a BSN, because of the classes I have to take, I'll also have a minor in biology. I know that finding a job will definitely be a challenge. But I'm wondering if the added education will give me a good advantage if at all.

Do you usually have a day that you just lay around and do nothing? Ha, I was wondering that. I know that at some point, that has to take a toll on your body. And honestly, after working that hard, you deserve to have a couple of lazy days.

It's amazing how far we've come. Well, I'm glad you haven't looked back!

That's awesome but I don't have a desire to go to graduate school. As excited as I am to start college. I just don't LOVE school that way. I want to get in and out. But I will not say that I'm NEVER going to go to graduate school. Why? Because situations change. So who knows. For now, it's not going to happen. But maybe it will when I'm older.

As sad as this may be. My mother has said no changing my schedule. lol So basically I'm stuck with the bio class. But I checked all the A&P classes and they all say that the bio is HIGHLY recommended. So I'm going to not rock the boat and just take this class.

I will! this has to be resolved! lol

Or was this something that you eventually discovered? I just graduated from high school and I'll be the first to say that I've gone down a list of all the possible majors I could declare. Yes, I know most would call me fickle because I changed what I wanted to do quite frequently. I think it also gave me the opportunity to explore ALL of my options. I entered high school and I absolutely loved graphic design. The love for that eventually went away. It's fun but it's not a passion. I also loved English. But I realized I just didn't want to be teaching grammar to students 8 times a day. I was interested in anthropology but the reality is, without a PhD. It's pretty much a worthless degree. I wanted to be a police officer, because I have this desire to protect and help others. It's honestly what I wanted to do more than anything. Which is why right now I'm declared as Criminal Justice. But the fact is, I know that degree will serve me no purpose. I've talked to a few officers and they've told me the same thing. They don't care what degree I have. I was interested in Athletic training so that I could be a physical therapist but that's just too many years of school and too much debt. I won't be happy. I was going to do accounting since I'm good with numbers but I know I'll want to kill myself after a few years lol So when I really looked into nursing I saw how much I loved the idea of what I would do. And with all the information I've seen, and heard, I know this is what I want to do. Maybe if I can't get a job as a nurse I'll go for law enforcement but still. I know becoming an RN is really what I'd love to do now. Again, these things went through my mind for years. It's not like i thought of all these things two minutes ago. High school was definitely a time where I got to think about what I wanted. And finally things are coming together.

lol I know! It's amazing isn't it?!

Wow! LOL That's a lot of hate! But hopefully it's worth it.

I'm currently a student and would like to know what parts you love and hate about your job.

That actually makes me feel so much better! Thank you!
