A New Day-

A new day, a new beginning. Finally a long over due decision made...
I am going to college. My goal is LPN to RN transition. First step are the required prerequisites. Today I met my adviser and set my schedule. I am taking 14 credit hours..and think already I have lost my mind. My classes are Speech, English Comp, First Year Experience, United States History and Introductory Algebra.
In the last post I talked about having a melt down, seeing my Doc, change in meds and two weeks off work. In that two weeks I did a lot of thinking. Do I want to be a nurse any more...if not then what do I do with my life. I do not know anything else. If I continue nursing then I must become an RN. Is that what I want??? My final decision was yes I love nursing, I love helping people. Then my only option was and is to continue my education. So there it is...my decision, my gift to myself. I just hope and pray I can do this.

Annie has been a trooper for and with me. She is my rock and has stood beside me through thick and thin. Annie I promise you that I will do this. It is what I want, its the only thing to do and the right thing to do.
Now I will challenge myself and put my inactive brain to work.
Thank you Annie for being here with me. Thanks for your love, your support and trust that yes I can...Yes we can!!
