Change is good...right?

FINALLY i am taking the first steps to better my life and my family. I have applied to get back into college. I am pretty sure Nursing is what i am after. If i understand correctly I can get my Associate in Applied Science in 2 years and then 2 more years to become a Registered Nurse. I could be reading the info wrong but i am hoping 4 years is all it'll take. i LOVE helping people. I always have this tendency to want to "fix" people. What better what to do that?! I would have such options if i become a nurse. i could choose to work with children or adults, or the elderly. not to mention the pay isnt so bad! lol. i am just very excited. the plan is to start school in the fall. i am hoping to find a friend willing to watch my 3 kiddos so i can go to school but i think i am going to be super ambitious and get a night job. i am going to be EXHAUSTED but i feel like it will all pay off in the end. i KNOW my husband loves being the provider. i know it gives him a huge sense of pride, but i WANT to help. In all the years we've been together he has NEVER ONCE asked me to get a job. well i'm not waiting for him to ask. lol. i WANT to help.i also want to be able to show my kids that education is important! i wish i had tried harder in school and i wish i had gone back to college sooner, but hey- i've been raising babies. at 25, it's not too late. lol. and there is so much i could do with nursing. if i ever wanted to go back to school i could pursue becoming a nurse practitioner. there is just so much good that could come out of this...and i just have to TRY. lol. well i know that was all mixed up and crazy but i am just WAY excited :)
