A Contemplative Sort of Day

After doing some googling online about local Registered Nursing programs (since it was just the other day, after all, that the great notion occurred to me that I could combine my love for psychology and the practicality of nursing to become a Psychiatric RN) I realized that getting accepted into any nursing program in the near future is, and will remain so until my GPA improves anyway, an impossibility. I'll admit, at first arriving at this conclusion disappointed me. I strongly dislike being limited, being told "you can't do this" because of whatever reason.

As I thought about my professional goals more, however, and as I did a little more googling, "research" mind you, I found a break in that scholastic wall that I thought would be impenetrable for me for eons to come. If I choose to stick to my career goals I can still study to become an RN after I've received my B.A. in Psychology. Most schools out here offer nursing programs for students who've already attained a B.A. in whatever. This is assuming, of course, that there are no other options disposable to me, or that I won't be accepted into a local nursing program while I'm working on my B.A. in Psychology.

Whatever the outcome may be in the foreseeable future I am, at the moment, comforted by the possibilities. What was originally perceived to be a dead end on my road to personal success has turned out to be another bump on the road. I'm sure the expedition will be an exciting one, and will be one of many valuable lessons.
