Well folks it's almost official....I will soon be a nursing school drop out. ugh.
You know, that pro and con list that all of you make for important decisions? Yeah well I made mine....here it is:
Pros of staying in nursing school list...
#1 won't have to work while in school.
#2 got scholarship, won't cost me much to stay in school
#3 will always be able to find a job if a nurse
#4 better chance of finding rich, new husband that is a plastic surgeon so I can give nice Christmas gift certificates to Gail and Tonya
#5 I can wear scrubs everyday
#6 stethoscope is kind of fun to wear
#7 classmate mocking possibilities are endless
#8 learning new stuff was kind of interesting
#9 my new lunchbox isn't even stinky yet
#10 I can't think of a #10
okay, the cons list consists of:
#1 hated studying until 2:30 a.m. every day
#2 LPN pay is just what the acronym states "low paid"
#3 really not all that interested in working with "isolation" patients. Maybe "isolation" is just not my bag
#4 feet the size of Tulsa after 8 hours on the cement floor was really unappealing
#5 my teachers were more unorganized that I
#6 too much stress for the pay
#7 wow....6:30 a.m. is really early
#8 carrying two backpacks, weighing in at a whopping 68 lbs was adding to my already bad posture
#9 I really sucked at taking manual blood pressure
#10 germs
#11 germs
#12-#1,298 germs
#1299 germs
#1300 didn't really want new husband, James is a really nice and I think he is cute too! and Gail and Tonya don't really mind getting those new Girl Scout calendars for Christmas...I hope.
Okay, so you get the drift. I was mentally making a list of things I would rather do than attend nursing school....went something along these lines
I would rather (blank) than go another day to nursing school:
--go to the dentist for root canal
--babysit Gails girls for one week straight without any sort of medication or alcohol
--go to a baby whale clubbing event
--be on Maury with James ex-wife Mary
--be a Wal Mart greeter
--gain another 10 pounds
--drive a '76 Ford Pinto to my 30 year high school reunion
--drive that Pinto off a bridge
--etc...
Anyway, needless to say, as of tomorrow I will be a nursing school dropout. I really am sorry though. It really was a hard decision in many ways. I hate quitting but it really was a lot of stress and at this point in my life, I really didn't need any more. It actually made me cry when I decided to drop but it made me cry more to stay in.
I will be staying with this blog tho...I figure wherever I go to work , I will still be a low paid nobody. I guess that will always be true for me. I am looking for another accounting job (ugh) or maybe I will get lucky and there will be an opening for an Activity Director some where, some place soon! I am still considering opening a cupcake store or hoping that the guy that owns the cafe at Fairlawn Plaza will sell it to me.
Stay tuned....you never know....I might be headed to beauty school soon!

Kelly, Though I don't really know you - I feel like I do after reading your posts on Justin and Rachel's blogs and I just read a couple of your blogs, but I already told Rachel that you need to write. You have a great talent for it and we all need to read "light" literature. You made even your "prison term" in nursing school funny. I will pray that the Lord will lead you to the perfect job. God bless. Kay (aka Justin's mom)
