I thought I'd share this story, because I'm sure there is another nurse who may be in a similar position. I entered the nursing world inspired by an amazing nurse who took care of my sister who died from cancer. Recently a lot of things have happened, and I have had to change a lot of my career and long term plans. I was really wrecked with anxiety and many other feelings. It looked like I was going to have to change specialties in order to find what was best for me at this time. I was dreading leaving this patient population, but I was on the verge of taking another position in a totally different specialty. I was driving down the road, and I felt my sister's presence. This may sound crazy, but I've felt it rarely since she died. The next thing I know my phone rings, and I am asked to interview for an oncology position that sounds like a perfect fit. This job was not posted. My resume was passed along I guess. I can't help but wonder if she was smiling somewhere along the way. Life has thrown me a lot of curve balls recently, but I found peace in this.
