Why Can't It Be a Snow Day Today?

I was really hoping for a snow day today. The weather forecasted inches of snow and that the roads would be impassable. But lo and behold, I woke up and there was very little snow. The feeling of disappointment I had was tremendous. I thought, “wouldn’t it have been great if I could have just spent the day doing what I wanted and didn’t have to work?”

I don’t think I’m alone in this line of thought. As adults, our time is at a premium and we are committed to doing what we have to do—over what we would like to do. Sometimes we commit to something and then when it is time to deliver, we question why we ever agreed to do it in the first place.

Being in an online degree program can feel that way at times. Your time is always at a premium because most likely you are working full time and probably have a family as well. You have to make time to study, even when you feel like you just want to have your own "snow day" and do whatever you would like.

You might even be questioning why you made the commitment to obtain your Associate Degree in Nursing or your Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. But you did--and you made the right choice. And, just like I am at work today (and as it turns out I am enjoying sitting here writing to you and glad that I am here) you just have to log on and start through your comprehensive learning modules. You will be motivated the more work you do and the further along you get in your degree program.

And, if you need some motivation just give us a call at 800 39-LEARN. We are at The College Network to hear about your day and make you glad that it's not a snow day.
