After talking about it for several years, I have finally put my notice in at work and will be going to school full time. I thought I would be ecstatic, but it's really a bitter sweet transition. I'll miss my co-workers. Work has become increasingly frustrating over the last year, and I have done my best to tough it out because honestly, I work for a great company. However, although I feel that change is good in most cases, the changes that have taken place in my particular position have only stalled important processes. Being that I am in no position of power, there is only so much I can do to voice feedback. The frustration and stress is no longer worth it. On top of that, my goal is to become a nurse, and although I was making progress part time, being a full time student will allow me to focus on my actual career. I'm scared. There will be a lot of sacrifices, but in the long run, there will be happiness, and that's what matters. Connecting with others is what makes me happy, what better of a career for me than to be able to help people when they most need it, not only medically, but emotionally. Like teachers, nurses may be under appreciated by some, but they can most definitely make a difference in the lives of others. I can't wait. 2 more years!!!!
