Nurses Week

Why talk about Nurses Week on a writers blog?
I'm a nurse, an RN - never wanted to be one - almost everyone is tired of hearing that, I guess.
But I didn't. I wanted to "BE" a writer. Back then I didn't realize I already WAS one.

So I have 55 college credits that can go straight to a BSN. I've done some research and made some calls this week. At 60, do I want to "waste" time getting a degree in a profession I don't want and can't wait to get out of? The answer is a great big "NO"! Why waste the little time I have left. So, I have 55 credits... really so what?

I'm an RN because that pays the bills.
I'm a writer because that's who I am.

Don't need a degree in writing, English or journalism to be a writer. So why waste time getting any degree, keep submitting and you'll be published soon!

I thought about the program at Seton Hill--still takes a lot of time, especially with a day job. Will keep writing in my little corner of the house instead...
