Back to school...

As of today, I am officially a full-time student of GTCC. Go Titans!!! I start classes on May 19th, and although I am excited, I am more than a little nervous. It has been a while since I have been in a classroom. Jimmy and I went down to the campus today and finished up with the paperwork, visited the bookstore, and walked around campus. It is 10 times bigger than Forsyth Tech! Wish me luck...

    I am thinking surgical tech or something in the health sciences field. I am still on the fence. My grades have to basically be perfect to get into the surgical program, but it sounds really interesting. We'll see!

    Yep, that's why I hate quitting halfway through it! But, it all came down to my job forcing me to decide, and I decided that I needed a job.

    I'll go ahead and tell you a little about the program... It's very time consuming and not the typical go to class and then go home sort of thing. When you get into clinicals, you'll be going to hospitals all around the triad... I think the farthest one away is Burlington... and you'll have to be there around 6 am or so. For me, I was doing transcription from home but they wanted me to go to work before I went to clinicals, which meant that I'd have to get up at an insane ungodly hour after getting no sleep because of the homework, kids, and transcription that had to be done.

    My first rotation was a the Women's Hospital in Greensboro and of course they kept selecting me over and over and over to do the abortions while the other students got to do c-sections and tubal ligations. I argued with every single one and got out of it, but that's when I started questioning what in the world I was doing! The only c-section I got to do was with a woman with AIDS. Lovely.

    But, it is interesting... and I'd say go for it only if you have some steady, solid help with those kiddos! I don't want you ending up like me!!! I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm just informing... :) Nursing is an excellent program also!

    I still am in the deciding process. This summer and upcoming fall, I'll be taking basic pre-requisite classes (required for everything), so in the Spring, I'll have to have my mind made up. I don't know. I also liked Physical Therapy. Thats what Jimmy wanted me to do. I don't know :(
