I Need to Get Moving!

It's been quite a while since I posted here. But, I didn't because I felt somewhat defeated in reaching my goal! I was psyched when I started the chemistry class last year because I finally felt I was moving in the right direction. Then, I had to make changes that caused me to put the brakes on, again...

So, as I was sitting at home and mulling over my life, I decided to look at some websites in my Favorites folder that I hadn't looked at for a while. I began to think about my dissatisfaction with my job (I am basically bored...) and ran clinical career options through my mind. As I examined those options, I easily came to the conclusion that whatever option I choose, I need to be able to do the course work online (so I can continue to work - I have a kid in college).

I checked into a nursing program where I could take the nursing classes online to obtain an RN (its legit...). I figured that would satisfy my need to be intellectually stimulated and I could get a degree and find a different career ladder to climb. I looked further and came across a university that offers chemistry, biology and physics classes online (legit as well)! That means I can continue to work towards the physician route and not take time away from work to do so.

I contacted both programs and they have answered my questions - I have a couple more questions out to one of them, but they've been great about responding. I now need to go further to figure out which path I want to follow. Either way, I'm looking for a certain amount of satisfaction and purpose for the work I do - I've been able to do that as an RRT. I'm just looking to do that at a different level.

That's the latest! I'm making plans to get moving!

Inspiration - I just want to send kudos to my Tiromed family member Kawkaw! She took the MCAT in August and has since been interviewed and accepted by a med school! See, it can be done! I'd also like to send a shout out to Linda Wilson, from OldPreMeds. She has overcome many obstacles to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor and in doing so, has been an inspiration to me! You go, girl! -- LM
