I came across ...Just wanted to leave a quick hello! I came across your blog looking for nursing student/nurse blogs.<br /><br />I'm currently researching everything I can in hopes of going to nursing school myself. Finances are my #1 problem with applying. I currently have ~$23k in federal student loan debt from my previous schooling as a network engineer. Sadly, it took me until AFTER I graduated to decide that working on computers was NOT for me! Then I have an additional ~$5k debt from a career training loan that I took out to complete online medical transcription schooling. Big mistake there as online schooling was definitely not for me either! So I kinda know how you feel in regards to making up your mind!<br /><br />With two failed attempts at schooling under my belt, fear is my #2 problem holding me back. I'm wondering if nursing is really right for me. Taking some time to immerse myself in it (by reading blogs, watching videos, etc), paying down my student loan debts and hopefully will know for sure if I want to go back to school for a 3rd time. But hey, 3rd time's a charm, right?! :P<br /><br />Ok, sorry for rambling on so long. I look forward to reading your blog and I'm hoping that getting a glimpse of what you're going through will help me as well!<br /><br />Take care. :)Ellie Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532157921079295545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-7135672101971520312010-03-29T15:15:14.496-05:002010-03-29T15:15:14.496-05:00You are absolutely right. There is something to sa...You are absolutely right. There is something to say for research. I completely agree. I am so bad about researching and researching, and researching and not making a decision because I am worried about how it will effect things. I get scared. I look for what is easier (most of the time that is not making a decision at all), which is what I am trying to change. <br /><br />I like that. "When you are on your death bed, do want to reflect and talk about what you should have done or what you did?" That is a great way to look at things, I think and pretty much where I have been trying to align my thought process lately.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment. :)It's just me :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05221551653882437330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-36774104770768043442010-03-28T08:22:16.635-05:002010-03-28T08:22:16.635-05:00There's something to be said for research, org...There's something to be said for research, organization, and due diligence. But, at some point there has to be action.<br /><br />When contemplating things I always tell the SU (Spousal Unit), "When you are on your death bed, do want to reflect and talk about what you should have done or what you did?"<br /><br />And very few things can't be corrected or altered if goals aren't met...SendAManToNursingSchoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529482876451236121noreply@blogger.com
