NO!!

We finally found out for definite that we will NOT be able to go to Ireland this spring/summer!

An Bord (the nursing board for Ireland) finally made it clear that Associates Degree- Nursing isn't acceptable. It has to be a Bachelors Degree.

So we can't go. *commences swearing in as many languages as she knows*

(it's that or cry... and I'm in a public place)

We are NOT giving up! Just have to revise the plan to accommodate hubby getting his BSN. He's, as I type, researching various ADN to BSN completion programs. But it does mean that we'll be here for at least another year.

Thanks. :) My silver lining- hubby will have a more advanced degree which equals more money. We will have all of our credit card debt paid off (real soon now!) and thus will be able to save lots and lots of money. This will come in quite handy when we do move. Because we ARE, just later. Certain friends will be sad for us, but happy that we're sticking around here. Maybe we will get a different sort of karmic payout...

*hugs* Really, thank you. :)

I have a really good Lj friend who lives in Ireland. Do you have Irish pals on LJ or should I make an introduction? He's jamesfitzimmonshorse I think it is. Do you know him? If not I will find out exactly and you will be fast friends because he is teh awesome.
