get thyself to a nursing school, go!
I'm planning on applying to nursing school next year. Why nursing? I've been working in the high-tech industry for several years and frankly I am BORED. And, I'm rapidly approaching 30 and feel like I am ready to have a "real job". In most other areas of my life, I feel like a grown-up: I'm happily married, I own a home, I have a good adult relationship with my family, I have good adult relationships with my friends, I eat enough vegetables... but my job still seems like I'm just out of school. I send marketing emails to people. It's not very inspiring, nor do I feel like I'm making a difference to anyone. I want to do something meaningful!
School I want to attend: Shoreline Community College
Nursing department
Requirements for admission
