So hello again! wow 2 posts in one week?! what is wrong with me! lol nothing! wow so ok i have something i want to do. well i have a lot i want to do in life but here is something that i have always found interesting and neat and i found out today that it is totally possible!
i want to be a RN! a Registered Nurse! what about teaching right? guess what! i can be a teacher too! wow how awesomely awesome and fun would it be if i could teach AND be a nurse?? oh it would be soo awesome. i contacted UMKC and they said that colleges like William Jewell, Rockhurst, and Mid-America Nazerine all have "expedited" BSN (bachelor of science in nursing) program that i can take and be done with in 12-15 months! wow exciting news! then i take the nursing test, if i pass i am a CERTIFIED RN! in 12-15 months after i graduate from northwest with my TEACHING degree i can also be a nurse.
so how would i do both you might wonder? well i was also told by the lovely people at UMKC that as a RN i can "pick" my job and i can do this option called weekends only or something where i get the benefits of a full time nurse, and the pay of a full time nurse i only have to work friday nights and saturdays and then i can go back to teaching mon-fri and i can work in the summers when i am not teaching.
wow i just am so excited. its not set in stone at all its not for sure. its just something i would love to accomplish. i would love to have that under my belt. a nursing degree and a teaching degree and choose my jobs and be happy. is this to much? is this to big of an ambition i am taking on? i really hope not. i hope i can do this. i hope i can make this happen. i think i can. i think i have the smarts, the will power. i was talking in my last blog about how its my time now its my time to do what i want to do. i wont be young forever and i wont have this time for me forever. so i have to do it now. while i can. prepare for the future. if i dont want to teach forever i can nurse or i can do both or i can do one or the other. i can just do this now. there is no other time for me to do this ya know? if i dont do this now i will get married, have kids and have no time for what i want anymore...not that i dont want all of that i just want to make sure im done living MY life before i start making new lives with people love.
ok so that is all i have to say. if anyone who reads this knows of anyone who is trying to do the same thing i am wanting to do or if you read this and you are a nurse or a teacher and have any comments or suggestions PLEASE tell me!! :) ok happy reading kids.

Michelle, I think that's a great plan! You're right this is the time for you & absolutely plan for something like this so if you find you love one over the other, you can do that. Or at anytime in life you always have the other to fall back on to as well. I don't think you will regret the 2 degrees AT ALL. Both are degrees that will also help you as a wife/mother. Again, it just is a fantastic plan! Go for it!!!
