Just as Jadon and Cole have finished up preschool for the year, Mommy has decided to go back to school. Yes, I already have a degree in psychology, but I want another degree in nursing. I haven't yet figured out how exactly to pull this off with three children and the desire for at least one more and the strong desire to be a stay-at-home Mom, but I am going to try. This week I started a night class at the local junior college to begin knocking off the handful of prerequisites I need before I enter an actual nursing program. It is a biology class that meets three hours a night 4 nights a week for 8 weeks. I have already taken biology, but unfortunately my sciences that are more than 5 years old won't be accepted by the nursing program and have to be retaken. I am lucky though because a lot of the local universities have started reinstating or creating nursing programs in the last few years and they have created special programs for people like myself who already have a bachelors degree in another field. I can feasibly (gruelingly) get my bachelors degree in 12-15 months depending on the program I choose. I am thinking of possibly entering a program when Carter is three, so I have two years to finish the prerequisites, but we'll see if I am really willing to leave Carter when the time comes.
I'm off to study!
