I've been thinking more & more about how I can actually put my nursing skills to work and do what I've always wanted to do (work in the medical field) while still being a stay at home mom if my future husband and I decide to have children early in life. I'm really hoping I can either work only weekends or work PRN... or be a work-at-home nurse answering calls for "call-a-nurse". So far this semester I'm really excited to see what lies ahead and I'm really excited to continue in the nursing program. But at the same time, I'm already getting pretty overwhelmed with my school work and we're only just beginning the 2nd week of classes. I just have so many classes to keep up with and so many assignments due in each one, and nearly always about the same time (talking about due dates) too. I've definitely been doing some heavy praying about how I can be a stay at home mom and still be a nurse. I really want to do both, but my number one prayer is that my future husband and I are in such a position that I can stay home with our children. It means so much to me. I want to be the one raising my own kids, not some day care worker, or even a grandparent. I could go on and on with my reasons why it makes sense to me but I won't... I have homework to do! lol
