Thank you for your encouraging words ladies. I am getting really excited for this!!

So I am terrified! I have been toying with the idea of getting my CNA license and working graveyards to help support my homeschooling family. My husband works during the day so I need a solid night time job - I am a true night owl anyway... So the more I research and read and learn... and the more I stand in the nursing section at the book store in front of all those nursing books... and the more I think and search myself... the more I realize I need to go all the way here. This calling has actually been sitting on my heart since high school I just never listened to it and here I am, close to thirty, knee deep in raising a family, homeschooling, embracing the stay at home mom, homemaking calling and I can't help but realize that as my kids get older, I can totally do this. But I am so scared! Not because I think I will fail (because I know if God is calling me here, He will equip me) but because I seriously had given up all prospects of "having my own life" while my children were young and so even imagining me doing anything like this is just nuts! In a good way. What was it like for you when you first realized you were being called to nursing? If you were called. Where were you in your life's journey? I can do this right! LOL I can homeschool in the day and start this as a 3rd shift CNA by night slowly working my way to RN as my kids get older and can handle more of their own.
