I just finished a certificate program. It certainly is a challenge to get back into it after many years of being out!

You can do it! :)

anatomy & physiology were always my favorite classes!

they just announced a reorganization here at my hospital and my position is being eliminated (Respiratory Therapy, night shift). :( I am going to apply to move to days but this is the shove I need to get back to school myself. I am a respiratory therapist but am going to try to do a BSN fast track program. Never, ever, did I think I would go into nursing but life has a funny way of changing directions on you.

The first time I went back to school, I compared my brain to a dry sponge. It felt like nothing would soak in!!!

Now, I'm working on a masters degree in counselling psychology and even though there are times when the homework load makes me wonder what the HECK I was thinking, it's worth hanging in there.
Trust me, it will get easier as you go along.
(If you figure out how to temporarily let go of some things in your life, that will help, too. I've had to give up big quilting projects. Only another year, only another year............)

You will do it, and be really proud when you can find/keep a job as the job openings shrink, & shrink, & shrink.Remember the "Litle Train that Could", and do it one day at a time! Kuddos!

keep at it -- it's always hard -- I attended 2 major universities and 1 smaller one -- I didn't notice any difference in the amount of work or the difficulty level -- hang in there -- it's worth it!
