Could you see yourself being anything else besides a nurse?

Published

If you were to pick another profession or if nursing didn't work out, what other professions can you see yourself doing? Or is nursing the only thing you can envision.. I know many people who say "they could never imagine doing anything else.

Nope. It's what I would do as a volunteer if that was feasible. Less hours and longer weekends yes, but not a different role.

I would be a professional traveler. I would have a travel blog in which I reviewed accommodations, landmarks, and good restaurants all around the world.

I enjoy watching paranormal shows, too, so another option for the above is I'd have a travel TV show where I only ate at haunted restaurants. I would review the food in the first half of the show, and then would investigate the location for ghostly activity after it closed for the night. That would be awesome.

Lololol sounds like me! And what kind of educator are you working on... Nurse educator or educator as in school teacher?

Nurse educator for now.

I've been drafted as a clinical instructor for my current agency and I really like it.

But ask me again tomorrow...

I've put my heart and soul into nursing, and it's been a great career. However, some days I think I'd like to be a private investigator.

Exactly why I chose nursing. At least I can change specialties. I tend to change jobs like my underwear.

Specializes in Emergency Nursing.

I would love to continue nursing and one day be able to go back to school to be an ER physician. I don't know if it will happen or not. Family comes first.

I'm not telling you it's going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.
