I’ve been excepted into nursing school to get my Bachelors of Science in Nursing, and I want to be a neonatal nurse. Never before did I care about the money, and I still don’t, babies are my passion and that’s what I want to do in life, no matter my salary. Now of course I care about making money, don’t get me wrong and I knew nursing is a job that will always have openings and that they made good money (I was thinking along the lines of $15 an hour, but apparently its $25+ an hour), but not until just now did I look up a begining neonatal nurses salary and I’m floored!! I’m honestly nervous, and slightly scared. That’s just the cherry on the sundae, I found out 4 days ago I was accepted into this school, and when I told my mother and father in law they agreed, along with my husband, that we move in with them while I’m in school (because they live a mile from the school). We are moving in 5 days, and I start a job down there (which is a block from their house) in 2 days, and my whole world has been turned upside down in the past few days and I’m sitting on the couch crying. Not only all that, before nursing school starts, I’m taking Medical Transcription classes, so that while I’m in nursing school, I can work from their home doing MT work. The halls of my apartement that has been my home and safe haven are full of boxes, my cupboards only have 2 plates, 2 cups, and 1 coffee cup, and enough food to get us thru the next few days, and my voice echoes everywhere. I’ve never lived more than 10 miles away from the home where I grew up, and I’m about to move 40 miles away. Away from my family, away from my comfort zone. I barely know how to get to their house, much less fit in. I feel scared, almost like a bird who’s been pushed out of the nest. I just want to curl up with my dog and cry like a baby because of all this change in less than a week and everything that is on my plate. Suggestions?
