I can't believe how long its been since I posted here. Pathetic! Seriously, like almost three months! Why hasn't someone told me to get my ass here and post, NOW!?
And MAN, that last post was so depressing. I was so dismal about not having a job, not having a dime to my name, and not know what to do. Some of that has changed; I have a job now, and I have a few dimes - but not a lot. Unfortunately, I still don't know what to do most of the time. Some things never change, I guess.
I loveLOVE my new job as a nurse. I've been working for about six weeks and some days it makes me cry (ok, only once so far, but I'm sure that won't be the last time) and some days I rush home and tell The Boy all the new things I learned today. Some days, I am just flat out exhausted and its all I can do to get to the car and drive home, just to wake up and do it again the next day. Overall though, I can rest assured that I am in the right line of work. Another blog I read (Hey, Missy!) said that teachers can't be taught to teach. Well, trust me, nurses can't be taught to nurse - you just do.
I'm finishing up my AA degree currently and taking 4 classes, which is insane. I am considering my options for continuing my education: a BSN program that will take one year...or a RN-MSN program that will take three years, but dump me out right on the curb of getting my ARNP certification. There's so many questions that linger in that decision though. Do I get the BSN, have a baby, and go back to school? Do I throw all my eggs in one basket, apply for the RN-MSN program and bust my tail for 3 years and try to have a baby somewhere in there? Do I just wait til the whole thing is over and my salary is triple what it is now and THEN start a family? Do I really want to wait another 3-4 years? That makes me 31 having my first baby. THIRTY ONE! Some of my friends will have TEN YEAR OLDS. OMG. Talk about being the last one to jump on board.
The Boy and I have some decisions to make, that's for sure. I'm terrified we'll make the wrong one and things won't work out like we want them to. But, I guess eventually you just have to jump, right?

I'm glad you're back!! Good luck with those decisions! You'll do great, you're too fabulous not to!
Glad to see you're back!! I'm so happy you found your niche and are loving your job. Not many people have that...so consider yourself lucky! By the way...theres never the 'perfect' time to have a baby. There's always something you probably should be 'waiting' for....like more money, better job, more education, bigger house....but in the end...it all works out and you can't imagine your life any other way. When you're ready....you'll just know its time to take the plunge and the rest will just fall into place.
I'm so happy everything has turned out so awesome for you!!
Hun, your blog is dying a very slow and tragic death. It needs some love and attention, asap!
