1st day of classes

So it's my first class at Bunker Hill Community College and I'm in Anatomy and Physiology 1. The professor is a medical doctor and a graduate teacher as well, so I'm happy to have an excellent teacher.

It's my first week and I'm already procrastinating on the other three classes I have. Nutrition, Statistics and Human Growth and Development are all self paced classes. So what have I done but let them slide to the end of the week to even begin them. So I really don't yet know what I'm in for in those classes, but my plan is to finish one self paced class each month. And I should probably start with my most difficult class... Statistics.

The first week has brought up some trepidation for becoming a Nurse, still not sure it's the right 'career' for me. But also some excitement when I think about the flexibility of being a nurse, being able to be a travel nurse, working with doctors without borders, and the freedom of becoming a CRNA.

I'm beginning to like the idea of being a Nurse Anesthetist more for a couple of reasons. One, It offers huge flexibility for me... (12 hour days, traveling, MSF); and two, I get to specialize in one small portion of a much larger care. I like the specialization because it'll allow me to become very good at one specific aspect of nursing care, instead of being in a more generalized care role like a Nurse Practitioner.

Next goal: Find a job at a local hospital in Boston.
