Hello friends,

I have a dilemma on my hands. I’ve been out of work since last February, and it looks like I’m about to get offered a job. The problem is, I’ve started down the path of going to school for nursing. Now, I don’t really know how realistic it is for me to keep going to school, because I’m paying for everything (including living expenses) out of my own pocket. But I’m really not that excited about this job prospect that won’t pay very much at all. Would you pray for me that I’m able—with God’s help—to discern what to do in this situation? Do I take the job? Do I quit school? Do I turn down the job and try to keep school going? I really don’t know what to do.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and thoughts.

Praying for you in my Masses
Prayer to Our Lady of Good Counsel
Most Glorious Virgin, chosen by the Eternal Counsel to be the Mother of the Eternal Word made flesh, thou who art the treasurer of Divine graces, and the advocate of sinners, I, thy most unworthy servant, have recourse to thee; be thou pleased to be my guide and counselor in this vale of tears.
Obtain for me through the Most Precious Blood of thy Divine Son, the forgiveness of my sins, the salvation of my soul, and the means necessary to obtain it.
In like manner, obtain for Holy Mother the Church victory over her enemies, and the spread of the kingdom of Jesus Christ upon the whole earth. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, Who hath created me. Glory be to the Son, Who hath redeemed me. Glory be to the Holy Ghost, Who hath sanctified me. Blessed be the holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever. Amen.
“Remember, Christian soul, that thou hast this day a duty:
God to Glorify, Eternity to Prepare for,
Jesus to Imitate, The Angels and Saints to invoke;
Your Soul to Save, Your Body to Mortify,
Sins to Expiate, Virtues to Acquire,
Hell to avoid, Heaven to Gain,
Time to Profit by, Your neighbors to Edify,
The World to Despise, Devils to Combat,
Passions to Subdue, Death Perhaps to Encounter,
and Judgment to Undergo.”
The sacrifice Our Lord asks of you is the Sacrifice of Daily Duty . . .
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

From today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Lord God,
by whom our lives are governed with unfailing wisdom and love,
take away from us all that is harmful
and give us all that will be for our good.
[We make our prayer] through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us and keep us from all harm; and may he lead us to eternal life.
AMEN
 
i would suggest go to church and offer your prayers there to help you with this decision.

Then sleep on it next day ask yourself ; do you want to be a nurse?
If yes why do you want to be a nurse?

If the reason is superficial then you should consider taking the Job until such time as you have a clear idea of what really suits you.

If the reason is Strong then pray for God to confirm your judgement , believe me he will. Then place yourself in his hands and he will ensure you have enough money to take you through the course.

Also remember to offer any sacrifices you have to make to God as a prayer to make you a good nurse.

Whatever happens I know if you pray that God direct you by his will not yours you will find youself in the place you will be most fruitfull in.
 
Praying for your discernment.

Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory be…

Amen.
