Starting fresh....want to get my ADN
I graduated in 03 with a teaching degree but faced the reality right after graduation that I had some serious competition. In Ohio 80% of all education grads focus on early childhood ed. It didn't help that halfway through my degree I realized I didn't really want to be a teacher...it was just chosen by default because I was clueless.

I couldn't return right to school becuase I was burned out but also because I still didn't know what I wanted to do. It's been 4 years and now I'm 100% certain that I want to go back to get my ADN so I can become an RN. If someone called and said I could start tomorrow, I would - even though I know this is going to be 2+ years of hell because I have to redo my bio/chem and then take all the nursing courses while juggling a job and 2 children as well as another on the way.

I am looking into several programs but currently the one that seems to make the most sense is offered by a state university regional campus. They do not maintain a waiting list because they only take the top so many and everyone else had to reapply next time around. I'm hoping to get in w/o having to redo my bio/chem prior to admission but that may not work....it's all based on points so I can't know for sure w/o applying to see how I stack against other applicants. If nothing else I'll do those this fall and reapply for the following semester. That may work out better anyway because I'm due right at Thanksgiving.

I'm only 25 but I just feel like I need to get settled into my career now and I know this is what I am meant to do - I just wish I had figured it out a little sooner!!
