Anyone else have no idea what to do after graduation?

Ere I live, there are two total RN programs: one ADN, one BSN. Most of the BSNs go back to wherever they came from after graduation, so the few of us that stay in the area after May graduation from the BSN program tend to get hired before graduation. I'm in a good area for getting a job. I have options.

I came into this wanting to be a midwife. It was the only dream in my heart. But then through sheer luck I discovered I have spinal fractures, and have become a chronic pain patient with lifting restrictions. Thankfully I found this out early on the program because it forced me to open my mind to the possibility that I may need to go for a different specialty. I've opened my mind completely in the other classes I've had, knowing all possibilities are on the table now. And, the hospital is off the table. It's been a long road to finding peace but I'm there. It sucks, but I'm going to get through this and not all hope is lost.

I still love women's health. I also love peds. I think I would be perfect for school nursing. My kids go to a private school and my daughter has asked her principal to hire me (several times lol). I fell in love with psych but not being able to do acute care in the hospital, I think community would burn me out quite fast. I'd want to do more for them, and I'm a person who needs to see measurable change and improvement. What I do know is I hate med/surg and primary care adult health. I'd burn out fastest there, knowing these people are fully capable of taking better care of themselves but they choose not to.

Anyone else feeling aimless?
