I have decided to quit my job that I have worked at for 10 (long) years and get my associates degree in nursing. I can't start the actual nursing classes until fall of 2012, however I decided to take courses that would count towards a later BSN and be a semester ahead at that point. I need to start in January:
1. to get out of this job
2. to keep our income down since we will lose a dependent when she graduates in May
and
3. I need to get my feet wet and get back into the groove of learning

I'm so excited, I have been working as a bookkeeper and it bores me to tears, I never wanted to do this but I was taking courses towards Radiologic Tech until the program opened up, got lazy and decided accounting was easy and here I am 10 years later.

Congratulations!

Thanks!
I registered for my classes this morning, apparently since I quit when the semester was almost over 10 years ago my gpa is a dismal 2.0 I need to rock this semester in order for the nursing department to even consider letting me in.

I know I can do it, my 1st semester I had 19 hours and got a 3.7 with 4 kids under the age of 8. I'm taking 15 hours this semester and have 4 kids over the age of 8.

I'm such a nerd I'm so excited to take a bio class and do the lab, I haven't taken a science course since high school!

I freaking love Biology so we can be nerds together.
