If I could do it, you can do it. I know you have spoken of the medical field since I've "known" you. IMHO, you are too young to have many "should have's" . . . they will ferment all your life and, because you are so young, they will become pretty stinking. I say go for it. You have a lot of working years ahead of you, work to get into something that will fulfill you. You have such a warm and kindness about you, Randy, I can totally see you as a great nurse. Go for it!<br /><br />Now, I hope H. Earl isn't going to give you much trouble. <br /><br />Have a great weekend.LemonyRenee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07200070770150819952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460538801648266697.post-50166215123895677902010-09-01T20:51:03.935-04:002010-09-01T20:51:03.935-04:00Hey Randy!

I sure have missed keeping up with everyone! I figure I can only do a limited amount of things in a day and, while I would love to have blogging as a priority, I don't think social services would think it's more important than, say, feeding the kids! Be nice to yourself!Chickens in the Basementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715138502582651998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460538801648266697.post-85652060650103974782010-08-29T10:04:19.067-04:002010-08-29T10:04:19.067-04:00As a retired LVN, I think you'd be Perfect in ...As a retired LVN, I think you'd be Perfect in nursing!

I'll be 58 in February and can't really see a lot of benefit to continuing my education at this point in my life. I've been unemployed since November and the job prospect is not looking good. I'd say: go to school while you still can!Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460538801648266697.post-91652387584481711192010-08-26T15:57:32.130-04:002010-08-26T15:57:32.130-04:00Randy - what is normal?

This certainly seems to apply well to your situation at present. You are fitting so many things in that it is not surprising that at times you feel overwhelmed.<br /><br />I do think that if your dream is to persue some form of higher education, you should really do some serious research about how this could be done. But, it could be that some form of rationalisation will be needed. There are, after all, only 24 hours in a day.What I am certain of is that once your mind is made up, there will be no stopping you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
