I took yesterday off from this because I went to the local community college to sign up for summer semester. I was really hoping that there was at least something I could take starting right away, but alas, I have to wait for the end of term in eight weeks.
The greatest part is that I get to declare a major in my first year. Which is Nursing! I figure that my dad has been so sick and I know that there is a level of compassion that I have only seen a few times with the nurses and doctors that I dealt with there. I have decided that is something I can bring to the field, granted I am only one person, but I am here to tell you when I was diagnosed with MS, that was hardest thing I had to deal with in my whole life. There was Nurse, her name was Pat. And a Tech, for the life of me I cant remember her name. But they were amazing. The kind of nurses who knew that I was terrified, but didnt coddle me but who would come to sit with me (sometimes for over an hour if the floor was slow) and talk to me about anything to keep my mind off things. Pat would tell me that things are what they are and that there isn’t anything that we can do about them in the long run, what ever was going on in my body was something that I have to deal with. My way of dealing with it, is by taking care of people. I need this in my life, and others will need me when that time comes.
Not to mention, Awesome job security! Not to worry folks, Ill be here for awhile yet, this is going to take me at least 2 years to finish my degree!
