In my last post, I had mentioned that I was praying for success in my nursing class. Well, things didn't go as planned and I ended up "failing" the class by one quarter of a percentage point. So, I transferred to a local state university. I am taking a nutrition class and a college algebra class that are requirements for the nursing program. I applied for the accelerated nursing program, which is for people who already have a bachelor's degree and are wanting to become nurses. I found out last night that I didn't get accepted. I am disappointed, but figured that was going to be the case. I will just continue taking courses that are requirements for graduating and reapply in the spring to start in the summer.
I am still working as a secretary at the local children's hospital in the neonatal intensive care unit. The job can be somewhat boring at times, but it is a good job. I am allowed to work on schoolwork as long as it doesn't interfere with my job duties. A perk of working there I they offer up to $5250 of tuition reimbursement if you are working on a degree that is in the healthcare field. Another perk is the medical benefits...especially that fertility treatment coverage. While it isn't stellar, it certainly does help take the sting out of treatment.
Now that it is officially fall, I guess it is time to start looking forward to brisk mornings and evenings, rainy days, and snuggling up with a fuzzy blanket. I don't know what my schooling future looks like, but I am just going to try to take it one day at a time.
Goodbye summer. Hello fall.
