As some of you may already know, I finished up with my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting at the end of January....and have since then been dealing with my home life and pretty much trying to NOT think about what comes next. lol Well, (insert sigh) I am going up with my friend, Rhonda, on Monday to talk to the school about starting in the LPN program around April or so....Yes, friends..there is a method to my madness. lol And, now I will explain. :)
Our area is a bit behind the times when it comes to the pay of MA's...and nursing is what I started going for several years ago....and not to mention the pay difference and the availability of jobs in the surrounding areas. Yes, they hire MA's up in Chicago and South Bend areas..but the pay is not really worth my driving time, gas, or train fair for Chicago....soooo, this is what brings me to the LPN program. With the pay scale of a nurse, I would and could afford to pay to go further out for work..or I could and probbly will choose to work closer to home for a bit to gain experience before venturing out to the big cities. lol
I have not made any definite choices as of yet, I want to talk to the director of the Nursing program before making any final decisions and I also, of course, will want to talk it over with the hubby. I know he is all for it..he sees the advantages of having a nursing degree over an MA degree, we have been talking about it for years...so he is all for it...I just like to run it by him in case my brain is missing a vital piece of info or something. lol My big issue is that Kbug is still in school....and my school schedule is not a set schedule as it was here at BMC.....but the high point is that Hubby is on straight days and I do have close friends I know i can count on if needed. I just worry is all...typical mama stuff I guess. And, as Hubby points out...Kbug is not a baby or even a "kid", she is going to be 13 this summer and is very self sufficient and does follow the rules when home alone to a T....now, we haven't ever left her alone and gone further than the grocery store or out to lunch with my friends before....I will be going to school an hour away....and to calm myself down I shall remind myself I have great friends close by who would drop everything in a heartbeat to help out if needed. :)
Why did I start this post? I guess just to let you all know that Im still around and just dealing with stuff on the home front. :) And, yes, to keep ya up to date on what is going on with me. :) Cuz, well, ya...duhhh..I knew ya all would be waiting with baited breath to hear from me. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Blog ya all later!
