Can I get a Tylenol?

So, now that I am done having kids, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to do with my life when my baby enters kindergarten. I’ve thought of everything from computers (can’t imagine sitting in front one for hours at a time –ironic?) to an office job ( I need flexibility to be involved with my kids classes and teacher and activities) to not doing anything (again, can’t sit in front of the computer for hours at a time!). In the midst of all my thinking, I can honestly say I found what I want to be. It’s not something that I thought I could ever actually do, although when I was younger, I did think of doing it. But see, back then I didn’t have kids, and I couldn’t stomach what I would have to see and do. Well, having kids has changed many things in my life. Stomaching blood, stitches, blood, cuts, blood has been an ongoing endeavor. So, I have decided I want to find out more about being a nurse.

Funny how kids can change you. I play the role of nurse already at home. So, why not get paid for doing it elsewhere? Like I said, I need something to do, something that is flexible and something that will be worth working out of the house for. Now, don’t get me wrong. Money is not my only motivator. I love helping people. Really, I do. I think that this profession will not only benefit any hospital I work for, but I also have other plans that involve helping those who can’t help themselves. I hope to one day be able to accomplish this and be a better person because of it. More to come in the not so distant future….
