I completed all the necessary parts of assignment one for my Nursing Informatics class. There is one part I can’t access online yet (no one can) but I expect to be able to post the rest of my work soon.
So far, I have had to introduce myself a few times. I had to do so on the web page we had to create and again for the second class that starts today. While this probably doesn’t seem like a big deal, I have some self-esteem issues about it.
So far, everyone that I have seen is working in the field. I am not. Please don’t think I am in any way regretful for this. I LOVE staying home with my babies and cherish every single day with them. I just have it in my head that I am being looked down upon for being home. I have been given no reason to believe this… it is in my own head and is just my beliefs.
But, a great friend, Ashlee told me something today that is so very true. She told me that we (SAHMs) have a hard job and not many people could do our job. She is right. Being a SAHM is often a thankless (at least from other adults… the kids are thankful in their own way) and overlooked job. I love being here for my kids, teaching them, nurturing them and loving them every day.
So, if anyone is looking down on me from my class, so be it. I am a good mom… that doesn’t make me any less of a nurse. I am a good nurse and they all will realize it sooner or later.
