It took another 10 years but I finally finished college and began my work, and I loved it. One of the other things that drew me in was the hours, I knew that if I got my nursing degree, I would really have no say in the hours I worked, at least in a hospital.Job's in a doctors office were hard to find. Most hired Medical Assistants or LPN's. With a husband at sea and two children, I had to know I would be there for them
