Life After High School..

After High school, I plan on going to Butte. I am really interested in their pre-nursing program that they have there. I have this knack for science and the human body. I think its facinating to learn all the amazing things our bodies do everyday to keep us living. And I have heard so many good things about Butte's Pre-nursing program, and that its a lot easier than the one we have up here. Plus its away from home, and Im ready to get out of here. Shastas nursing program is so much stricter than Butte's and Ive heard that their courses arent as long, and you get a higher degree when you go through it rather than up here. My cousin went to Butte and told me all the great things that you can do, and all the courses and things they offer, and it suonds like a good place to go.

I was also thinking about taking a Phlebotomy class, and working at a blood bank while going to school. Phlebotomists make a ton of money and that could really help me get my foot in the door as far as nursing goes. So that could help with paying off school and stuff as well. But my main interest is in the ER. I would really love to be able to help people in time of need, and all the adrenaline, and excitement that goes along with working the the ER, would be such a rush. Helping everyone when they need you most is what I want. Even though there will be some real eye openers, and lots of runny noses, it would be a wonderful experience.

From there I want to tranfer to Chico State, and Enroll in their Nursing Program. Granted, I might be in school for a longer, but if it puts me on a good road for life then Im all in.Another one of my cousins fromm Oregon just got tranferred to a hospital in Eugene, and she makes well over 75,000 a year. But Im not just in it for the money. I really do like science and learning about our bodies. And if helping people is involved in that then I really would enjoy being a nurse. And to make things more of a challenge, being on my own for the first time will really be an experience.
