I have two more years until a graduate and it feels like I keep changing my career options every week.Right now I am thinking of becoming a nurse because it seems to offer good pay and job security.
The most important reason though is because of the Global nursing shortage this could be the way to reach one of my major life's goals to get the HELL out of the U.S.A.
I change my mind so often before I wanted to be a computer tech before I learned there was hardly any money in it. A wise man told be a needed to get a career not a job. A know what he means by that he gave me a lot of good advice of career choices. I came to him for advice about the tech industry and he gave me more general advice and two books the 'The seeds of Greatness' and one by James Web. He did not tell me what career or industry to go into but I could tell he was heavily implying medical.
My Papa said I would make a good nurse because it is very hard for me to get attached to people, but I wonder if that is really a good quality for a nurse they say caring for people is what gets you through the job.
But what a lot of people do not know when know one is looking I can start crying at a drop of the hat and it's hard for me watch or hear violence of tragic stories. I just hold it in a lot more compared to most girls by age. I think this makes me come across as cold and detached to most people.
I think nursing would be good I do not want children and marriage or realtionships hve never intersted me and I always disliked the drama associated with them.So I could focus on my career more and move up faster than most women. Besides how many men out their want marriage or a realtionship without children.
Of course I could just change by mind tomorrow and decied to be a cowgirl!
Aww the mind of a young woman you got them figured out and the can change everything in a breeze. It confuses men, but it confuses the women themselves the most.

Peggy--my wife--is a nurse. I recall reading something about nearly all nurses have the same Myers-Briggs score that she does (I don't remember what it is), so you might look into that. Peggy is compassionate and soft-hearted, and I would say it's an asset. Also, I can't emphasize how important people skills are since you would oftentimes be working with people who are far from being at their best. One more thing; nursing school is awfully hard, and it helps if you like science a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep this in mind. Nurse is just one of many options I'm considering.
ReplyDeleteI have at least 20 other careers I'm thinking of.
You could try volunteering in an old folk's home to see how you cope with the emotional side of things. Whether you like it or not you'll still get something out of it. I've done that kind of work, it's not what I want to do with my life but it helped me to be more patient and less selfish. I'm still impatient and selfish but not as much as I used to be!
