Other career option

If this whole nursing thing doesn't work out I will be raring and ready to go as a flight attendant. For some reason Nursing textbooks weigh approximately 33 pounds each - add a few together 'cause each instructor can't settle on just one text - and you quickly find yourself with aching shoulders and sooner (many of my classmates) or later (me) reach the conclusion that you must buy one of these: Wheelies. I fought if for as long as I could - would rather use my "cool, hip, I'm not just a Volvo-wagon-driving middle-aged mom" bag. I've become the student I used to snigger at...

On the upside, every so often I feel like I'm rushing through the airport to catch a flight to Europe -swoon - then I snap to and realize I'm frantically trying to get to class on time - oh, well at least the daydream is worth it while it lasts!
