Maybe I’ll get a Hunger Games backpack!
I’ve been a bit listless lately. Busy with the kids as usual. Happy that I am working a bit. Still listless though. Feeling like I’m spinning my wheels a bit.
I am seriously contemplating going back to school and getting my four-year degree in Community Health. I currently am an RN with an associate degree and there is a big push for us to get our bachelor’s degree at work. I really don’t want a BS in nursing, but community health is really what I am interested in. Working with young families has shown me how important it is to have a community who cares about kids and parents.
So now my only obstacle is math. I need one more math class to get started on my journey. Does anyone want to take it for me? I dread math. On the other hand, how nice it will be to have a refresher course so I can actually help the kids with their homework!
I’ll go back part-time for sure, but I am very excited about this possible near future of mine. Any tips for returning back to class?
I read in the Houston Chronicle about the hospitals pushing nurses to get bachelor degrees. I’m thinking about getting my teaching certificate via alternate certification classes next year. I love my job but with the union coming in, the merger, and Robert’s health I’m not as happy as I used to be. At least once I have my alt cert I can teach if the need arises.
As for math, can’t help you. I took Intro to Math to get my Bachelor’s since only 3 hours of math was required. It was totally a refresher course of basic elementary school math. Which I needed as math is my worst subject!
