Working Girl Blues

Struggling...that's is precisely what I am doing right now.  If anyone actually reads this blog, they know that I am currently in nursing school and trying to work at the same time.  It worked out really well last semester and I did well on my tests.  This semester, I am having a little more trouble with tests, but I don't really know if this has to do with work or with total lack of motivation to doing anything because it's summer.  Anyway, I digress.  I am at a place right now where my husband is tremendously over-worked and I am feeling guilty because we still have to have enough money to pay my student loans from my previous undergraduate degree. 

I had a really great situation worked out where I was working 25 hours a week and picking up weekend shifts here and there, but things have changed at my job.  My client has moved to Assisted Living and my hours have been cut dramatically.  Despite me begging my employer to replace my hours, this has not happened and I just can't work 6 hours a week and pay the bills.  So I have been applying to jobs at hospitals in the area with the hope of getting my foot in the door somewhere so that when I am a nurse, I will pretty much be guaranteed a job...not to mention it would be nice to be on my own health insurance so that come February I won't have to worry about adding myself onto Justin's.  I have applied for several jobs and heard nothing back as of yet.  I guess my point in writing tonight is for support and in an effort to get prayers from wherever I can.  I am praying that I will get a job that will work out with my school schedule and allow me work close to full-time.  If this were to work out, Justin could work just two jobs instead of three and I would feel better because I would be making more money to contribute to our home.

 Anyway, I guess I just needs prayers that a job will come through for me.  I need something to work out so that I can get on the ball making some money and getting health insurance.
