Eeeek!!! I can't believe it's all happening... FINALLY! Tomorrow is the day that I start nursing school! In other words, I will be chained to my laptop and in the library for the next two years. When all is said and done, I will have my Associates Degree in Nursing. Then to continue on for my BSN, which I am told is not going to be much considering I already have a BFA from my previous life ;) We'll have to see about that.
Yes, I would absolutely LOVE to be the going off to a big university, living in the sorority house and going to keg parties at the frat houses, but that was in my "previous life" as I mentioned before. Now is the time I settle down and get this other party started.
A little about me, even though I thought it was pretty self-explanatory in the title of this blog... I am a mom of two active boys ages 6 & 9. I am a wife to an incredible, supportive jet-hopping husband who travels all of the time and I, myself, am about to start a new chapter of my life, Nursing School. In the eight years prior to kids, I had a career in textile design. Once my first born came along, I took a little break from the office life to stay home with him. One more child later, I decided I couldn't sit around so I became a certified Group Exercise Instructor. I love group exercise classes and now I was getting paid to workout, and love it. Flexible hours, doing what I love (fitness) and being home with my kids. I have taught many formats including kickboxing, boot camp, aqua, senior fitness and my all time love, yoga. Yoga is where my heart is. It has me so connected to myself more than I ever could have imagined. It gives me strength in my practice both physically and mentally. I plan to continue teaching yoga classes while in school.
Well, I am sure you are aware that teaching classes at the gym doesn't pay lots of money, and instead of heading back to the office job I wanted to make an impact on people even more. Which is why I then turned to being a nurse. I started to take classes to complete my pre-requisites to apply for nursing school two years ago. I took it rather slowly, one class at a time. And now, in the next two years I plan to be an RN!
I have my clothes laid out, a small lunch packed and all of the assigned assessment tests completed and printed out. Alarm clock is set to 5:50am. I have to get my kids up and ready for school then off I go..... until then, wish me luck!
Namaste~
