CNA School + Update

Guess who's going to school? ME!

I don't know if I mentioned this to anyone but my husband, but I'm thinking of being a forensic nurse again. The more I look into it, the more it feels right. So, I'm giving it a shot. I just got off the phone with Orchard CNA school (which has the best passing grades on the CNA exam) and they said I could miss one day for the MUSE concert - which was my main concern - but that I would have to make it up.

SO I'm going to CNA school next month. I will sign up for it tomorrow when I get my paycheck.

Speaking of which, I've quit. I was going to be 5 or 10 minutes late if I didn't take a shower, and I was freaking out about not having a shower when I panicked, packed a bag, and ran away to my husband's grandparents' house for a night. I feel horrible because A) that is no way to quit a job and B) it was bad timing.

I mean, I was going to quit soon anyway (I sold cigarettes to a pregnant woman, and that did not sit well), but I wanted to make sure I had some kind of income while I went to school and I want future employers to be able to contact them for a good report. Neither of those things will happen now and it's all my fault.

Not all of this is bad though, I finally have some time to get this medical problem figured out - as far as testing and appointments go. I also have some time to gather myself and prepare for CNA school!

The hope is that I'll love it, find a job, pay for some pre-reqs, go to LPN school, work, get my A.A.S from SLCC, work, and get my certificate as a SANE-P. Bam. Dream come true.

I just worry about the social interaction. I don't know if I'll ever be fully okay with that, but it can't be avoided. I'll just have to die early from heart problems - you know, if kidney failure or diabetes don't get there first. :)

SO EXCITED!
