This past week something happened to me that has never happened before… I got laid off from my job.

In the 12 years I’ve been in the workforce, I’ve never left a job without a new one already in place. I guess there’s a first time for everything though.

It happened on Thursday, and at first all I could do was call my friends and cry. Why me? Why now? I have to pay rent in 2 weeks and have no money in the bank! Is this seriously happenning? Thankfully I’m no longer crying! I’ve known for a while that I was ready to start looking for something new, so that definitely helps… But I was in no way ready for this.

Now I’m going over all of my options. I’m even considering going back to school to become a RN. Nursing is something that I’ve always had an interest in… But I know that I need so much more than just an interest in it to become a RN.

Hopefully the answer will present itself sometime soon!!
