Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Ya'll are some of the most incredible people I have ever had the pleasure of my friends. Marcy taking care of special needs children takes a special heart and they are fortunate to have touched yours. , Deanna, Fliss I do so very much believe that God does have his way of letting us know which way to go. If we listen. I would not be a RN had God not jolted me out of my gilded cage. In 1989 after trying for 2 years to get pregnant; fertility test the whole bit. I was pregnant; only to miscarry in the 2nd trimester. I cried endlessly then something came into my head. I needed to pay some emotional pennance. I decided to do some volunteer work at a local hospital. Something clicked when I was onto that floor and I was doing things I never in my wildest dreams thought my priss-pot self could do. A doctor came and asked me if I were a med student. I said " No just a Mommy " . He said that I was wasting a beautiful talent. That year Hurricane Hugo hit the lowcountry of SC. The small town I live in McClellanville was literally wiped off the face of the earth. Not long after, I was pregnant again, no docs interveined, Gods gift. I was placed on absolute bed rest. The next 8 months I wrote to all the local colleges about the nursing programs. My son was born in June and that August I started night classes. In 1996, 2 days after he graduated kindergarten I graduated from the Medical University of SC. So yes I very much beleive God will tell you if you are willing to listen. I dont know why he wanted me to go into nursing, I still dont. But I haven't stopped listening. This disease and how I got it is different though and I haven't quite figured it out. I am trying to listen, but I am not sure of what I hear. With much love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
