Lavinnia's Journal, 20 July 2010

I was very, very busy yesterday. I was at our local community college for about 3 hours, trying to figure out how to get me into the nursing program without re-taking too many courses. See, I got about half way through a little over 20 years ago before I dropped due to complications with pregnancy. Just started thinking about going back when baby I found out baby #3 was on the way. So much for my doc's theory that there wouldn't be anymore! (she lied to me). Anyway, good news is, I don't have to retake English, psychology and non-science courses. Bad news is, they now have a chemistry requirement before you start into anatomy/physiology. I had it as the first 3 weeks of my course way back when. So, I'm studying my hiney off for a couple of weeks to see if I can test out of it. Also, today, despite all my coursework, I have to take a math placement test. Go figure. Anyway, I got a lot of exercise in yesterday, but I didn't eat enough. I just forgot. Hard to believe, huh? And I'm down 7/10 of a pound this morning. lol

Good for you in going back to school. This is one field that always has a demand. So when do you have to take the math placement test?

Hey Lavenia What God has for you it is for you, but you gotta be persistent which it sounds like you are. You'll do just fine and this world needs as many good nurses as we can get. Hang in.

Awesome Lavinnia! I considered nursing myself but chemistry makes me want to cry! LOL! I think you will like going back to school. Good luck on your placement tests. It's amazing what you think you have forgotten till you get in there and somehow it's familiar and it doesn't take too long to re-learn it.

Good luck in your endeavor to become a nurse. I considered it for a second, but knew it was not my calling. I am an office type person. Unfortunately that position has contributed to my being overweight. We call it the deskchair spread. Will be praying for you.
