Basically, I had an “epiphany” yesterday. I put it in quotations, because I have thought about it many times, but it never seemed like such a good idea until yesterday. Basically, I think that I should just focus on getting my RN, and then worrying about the BSN after I am already working in nursing. This way, I can transition quicker, which I REALLY need to do. I am almost terrified of change, but it is so necessary, because I just feel completely lost right now.
This semester is winding down, and I have finals this week and next. I will be so happy to be finished with anatomy, because it is one of the most useless classes ever. The whole point is to weed out those that don’t want it bad enough, and I am just ready to be done with it. I hope that I do well on my lab final, because I completely bombed the midterm, thanks to the distraction of my floors being ripped up that same day.
I was going to write a post about the Kate Nash concert, as well as one about the Feist concert, but it just seems like I don’t have the desire to do very much these days. I had a blast at both shows, and both Kate Nash and Feist were amazing. Also, Hayden opened for Feist, and I was glad to be able to see him after all of these years. All three artists are impressive, and put on great shows.
That’s about it really… just trying to maintain, I guess. Getting out of the bed is harder each day, and if I can come up with a remedy for it; I will market it. Trust me.
Perhaps it will all come back once spring kicks of for real? New life, new motivation?
I saw Kate Nash on Thursday! Amazing. She’s adorable and I just want to put her in my pocket.
Hope you get out of your funk, sweetheart, Those are no fun.
Hang in there, mister. Sometimes it takes working through a funk to really figure out where you’re heading, and it sounds like you’ve already started working on that.
SNUBBED…and I was on my BEST behavior, too. *sigh*
Don’t get discouraged, Duane. When I began my prereqs back in 2005, I felt it would be forever until I got my degree…and now I get my nursing pin (and BSN) in less than a month!!! You gotta take it one semester at a time. If you do decide to do the ADN route first just to expedite becoming an RN, I suggest you check with the employers in your area to find out their requirements. Many major hospitals here in Boston will not hire new nursing grads unless they have a BSN. If you ever need to vent, you can always e-mail me. I feel your pain!
Thanks Sean. I have talked to some people at school, and I am not alone in the quest for the RN; it seems to be something that would definitely work for me for immediate gratification. After I get it, I am going to do the online bridge program, so that I can the maximum benefit in the shortest amount of time for me. I can’t wait to hear more about your new career!!!
