Since I've lost my job all I've done is just think all the time about where to go from here. I've not been able to find any jobs in my field. I've had a BSW for 6 years now and been working with the elderly ever since. I can't find anything out there. Been so disappointed.

I lose my insurance saturday and all my benefits. I looked into getting COBRA, but it's going to be $750 a month. Is no way I can afford it. I even tried calling insurance companies to get coverage, but once they hear my medical conditions and mental health needs the prices go up to between $700- $1000 a month. Yeah right I'll wipe that right out drawing unemployment.

So with all that I just decided that I'm going to do what I've been wanting to do for a couple of years now, get my nursing degree. All I need is a few classes ( bio, nutrition and chem classes ) to get into the nursing program. So I did it ! I got up and went and signed up for classes starting in Aug. I'm nervous, execited and scared all at the same time. I'm kind actually looking forward to doing the work. I've been so bored in my job not having the client contact I want.

I've made a ton of calls today and have gotten my medications taken care of so I can get them from the drug companies. And since I'll be a student I'll be able to see the univerisity doctors at the schools clinic. It's just like everything is falling into place like this is what I'm suppose to be doing.
