You know that I will alwasy be happy to help you and answer anything I can for you Himei but in this question you didnt give the detail. If your boss is within the law as far as his or her request then of course you have to decide to obey or fight this some how. If it is very unreasonable or maybe is biased against you , for instance he dosent like you and is basically trying to make you suffer. Then u need to keep the detail as much as possible and take some action against he or she. The other guys are right , you skill is in demand and will become more in demand as time goes by. Here in Georgia they are in high demand as we have many medical centers and hospitals here.I am curious what he did tell you about doing that make u upset ?

Always try to see if there's a way to do both. No need for an ultimatum in the case you mentioned bec I personally am doing both.
If a choice need to be made, consider your time and finances. Those are the 2 initial factors in deciding for what career to take. Happiness is important but there are situations where one must be practical for the time being. If the choice ended up being based on financial reasons, don't fret - do your best. It doesn't mean that you will not be getting what you want - you're just limited now and that's nothing to be guilty about.

Well lets see, I used to work as a security guard on riverboats that sailed every 3 hours for 45 minutes.
One time, my girl, who was 11 or so called and needed to get home from school, right as we left the dock, so I asked to leave when we got back JUST to pick her up , take her home and come back, so maybe an hour, to which I would have clocked out and not gotten paid for, so they had no worries, and they said NO, find someone else we are too short handed to let you leave.
Of course they failed to remember there was a few more guards on the other boat, that could have covered me for a couple hours!! (which is what they wound up doing)
I then told them, you have one of 2 choices, let me pick her up, or you'll be another hand short!!
They let me go get her and let me have the rest of the day off.
Truly, I don't care how much they were angry or mad that I stood up for what I believe in, Kids are always more important than a job, I can always find another job, but you can't be too careful about what kind of things go wrong with your children that you need to be there for them. (little did I know at the time, she was getting sicker and nearly died, unforeseen female problems)
I know now, that might not have been the smartest move on my part, BUT I let them walk all over me before and when it came to job or my kids, I will always put kids first, no matter who says what!!
The kids will only need you for a short time so you may as well take any opportunity to be there for them AT ALL COSTS..

Only you can decide that. You have to ask yourself what is best for your son, then what's best for you? Will going back to school allow you to make more money than you are making now? Will you be able to increase your standard of living by going back and getting another degree? You are a nurse, that is the good thing there is a shortage of nurses, even more so of nurses with critical care experience. So finding another job, should not be hard at all. Yet, what will you do for money, for groceries, and for buying things you like and want to buy. If you stop working then you will be more at the will of your husband. It will be more up to him what you can, and can not buy. So like I said, it is really up to you and what will be the best for your future. Good luck, and look at the good and bad of both and see which one would benefit you more. =)

You know there is always more money in higher education. But we all have to worry about the NOW, so this would be something only you can decide. If you have a good support team (family, friends, spouse) that can help you, I would go for the education. Good Luck!

I always say education is the hire prioprity; especially if you are young.
Although, nurses get paid very well. So, I would take into account if something is really worth loosing a good paying job over.

Your priority can be both.You can work part time,and go to the university to get the education you want.Or you can have full time education,and get the goals you really want.All is up to you.

So he is making you decide between getting your education or working in your field at your present job. Well, thats easy. Check with out local hospitals and see who will pay for you to continue with your schooling and let you work. Believe me nurses are so much in demand right now they will do anything to keep you. You are in the best position don't let him bully you. Good luck.

It depends on what the ultimatum is about !
is it something reasonable , and does it comply with company policy ? If he doesnt like you to be absent for school , and school has been approved for you then he is just gong to have to live with it.
Can you get another job if you have to quit ?

Higher education. In the end you must look out for the best interest and long term goals of your family.
