Well still dealing with being sore and sitting with my heating pad. Welcome to my world. Today I went to a nursing information session at Front Range (the local community college) to find out more about their nursing program. So the skinny is that there is AT LEAST 2 semesters of prerequisites to take (if I want to be a full time student for a year) before I can get my name on a 3 YEAR WAIT LIST! Then after going to school for a year and then sitting around waiting for 3 years I am still expected to remember everything I learned in those prerequisite classes 3 years ago. Then the nursing program itself is 2 full years. Oh wow. I better have a good memory.
Not that the time is a huge deal but if I want to do this it is either this route or commute 45 min each way to UNC and take the 4 year bachelor of nursing program OR commute to Cheyenne a hour each way and do their 2 year nursing program. That's a lot of commuting. Lots to think about.
I have the first official captains meeting for Relay for Life tomorrow night. They extended the sign up discount of $5 per person until the 15th of March so sign up for my team soon! Follow the link on the side bar of my blog to sign up. Looking forward to doing it again this year.

Eliza, there is nothing more rewarding than being there for someone who really needs you. Having been a nurse for years, I speak from experience. I also had to make a lot of sacrifices to be a nurse. The school is demanding, long hours and lots of stress. Balancing family, school and work was not easy...but it is so worth it. I know you will be a wonderful nurse coming from the role of a patient, you have compassion, love and a greater understanding of all that the patient goes through. That alone helps you to be a better nurse. God Bless and Good luck!! Go for it...
