Best of both worlds then, hunny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be well. Big hugs. Hopes for you.&lt;/p&gt;

I managed it for a little while (about 8months -ish) but eventually drifted back into vet nursing after vowing that I never would. I have swapped things around a bit since then tho - instead of vet nursing being my whole life it is now just a part of my life - a big part I&amp;#39;ll grant you but no longer the whole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How would it feel to give the new opportunity a chance? - if it works out and you enjoy it - great its a whole new chapter and if it doesn&amp;#39;t well at least you can go back to nursing knowing that you gave it a try.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;feel free to pm me if you feel it would be of use.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
