Going Back To College

I have been thinking a lot lately about going back to school. The biggest problem I am having, though, is deciding what I want to study. My mom and my sister both went for nursing, and I am thinking about following in their footsteps. I know there are plenty of jobs right now for nurses, so I wouldn't have to move to one of the best places to be a nurse. I am sure I would be able to find a job locally. I also know that nurses are paid well, so that is weighing in heavily with my decision.

I know it won't be easy, and dealing with patients who suffer from hypochondriac symptoms might drive me insane. I have very little patience, so that might be something I will have to work on. Good bedside manner is so important in nursing. I hope there is a class that teaches that. You would think having kids would have done the job, but no. I find that the kids test my patience more and more each day.

One of the benefits of being a nurse is the uniform. I have no fashion sense what so ever, so wearing in style scrubs everyday would be an improvement to my bland, boring wardrobe. I would also be able to wear my hair up everyday, like I do now, without getting grief for it. I am such the fashion forward girl, aren't I?

I know so many people who did that and they all have steady employment now. I wish I had a desire to try it but anything medical is so not my thing!
