Hi all,
I am brand new here and have am feeling a little lost...
Without giving away my secret identity ;) I am a mother with two small children ( 3 and 5) and I have decided after 12 years in Administration I am done. I want to be a nurse. I think it is something I have always wanted, but always managed to talk myself out of it.
What I am hoping to glean from some others on here is help in deciding my pathway from here.
I am not afraid to admit that I am scared to death of putting myself out there. So here is where I ask with all sincerity, is it worth the 18 Months sacrifice to go full steam ahead and get it done and dusted? Or should I do the Mater Hospital Part-time course ( over 3 years) and still keep working?
There are a lot of things to consider, the most being the impact financially on our household and on the children. But, I can't help but think that 18 months is the right way to go. 3 years is a long time, I am worried like everything I will put my study requirements last, or just get disillusioned and give up.
So I humbly ask if there is anyone going through my situation? Is there any advice or suggestions? I am unsure of the right path. This is by no means an easy course.
Sincerely,
meillie
