So I was in nursing school and without getting into a wicked long story that did not work out... so now what do I do?! I have thought about going back at some point and then again I have thought about changing my major to counseling and getting a Masters in that... mind you I have no degree as of yet, just a whole lot of credits!!
However, ever since December I have been a stay at home momma... and I LOVE IT!!!!! We are making some plans for the future, but that's currently a secret so for know it must stay that way... :/
Anyway.... I'm a stay at home momma and life is fantastic! I feel so torn as I know I should be contributing to the family and I have our entire married life, but now I feel like being home with our bugs is the most important thing! So do I wait to go to school until Taydin's in school?! Do I slowly finish a degree while I stay at home although it couldn't be nursing because that's not offered online with any of the colleges I attend... So my next thought is counseling. There is a two year program offered at our local community college and it's all online... PLUS my grants and scholarships would cover the cost! That's a big one!!
But here's my dilemma... my heart is still in nursing. Seeing my pt's faces in my head brings me back to nursing everytime... I loved it and I love them! Every tear I cried on ONC and every heartbreak I experienced was worth it for the sake of the amazing pt's....
So you can probably see somewhat why I am so confused. My hubby would like me to get back to work, but I really want to have an education and so I can do what I really love... but it just feels like it's going to take forever.... :/
Sis, the more I read your blog, the more I was thinking that it was a no brainer that you strive for the counseling degree! I know you love nursing, and in time, you could always go back to school if you are not fulfilled entirely by counseling.
