Winds of Change

Over the last year I have been pondering whether or not nursing was a good career. I had decided that I definitely wanted to work somewhere in the medical profession.

The idea of actually pursuing that kept coming back to me so last Thursday when I saw an ad in the newspaper to sign up for fall classes, I took the plunge. Beginning September 2nd I will be going back to school to get my Licensed Practical Nurse certificate.

Of the ten classes needed to prepare for the program, I have completed five. So this fall I will be taking ten credits and in the spring I will be taking seven or eight. Also in the spring I apply for Vermont Technical College's practical nursing program, which lasts ten and a half months.

The timing of all the is contingent on my 2nd degree plan being accepted (I know this afternoon.) If my plan is not accepted, I will go to school full time the next two semesters to fulfill all the requirements .

So as of the beginning of September all of us will be going back to school, except Jacob (though I am sure he will learn a lot!)
