Okay, I am a nurse who is returning to nursing. Is it my dream career? Probably not, but I do miss the patients and I hate to give up on a career I worked so hard for.
That being said, in my fantasy life, I am not Nurse, I am:
1. A wedding planner
2. A pastry chef/caterer
3. A fashionista dress designer
4. A major piddler moving from hobby to hobby each hour of the day.
A girl can dream.

What are you waiting for?! There's no reason you can't do at least 1 and 2 (and probably 3) followed by 4! Number 1 is an especially viable option.

If you want to be something aside from a nurse then why are you wasting your time? Get to work doing what you want... life is short and you can do anything you want to do as long as your willing to put in the time and dedication required.

I've actually done some catering and I love to cook. Unfortunately, doing these things on a small scale doesn't generate a lot of income and doing it on a bigger scale requires a full-time committment and some cash.

I do make killer bagels and cakes, though. Maybe one day.....

Thanks for the encouragement.

Well, the demand will always be there for bagels and cakes, that's for sure! It's right up there with nicotine and gasoline in terms of demand.

I would love to be

1) a millionaire something...who also has an office or vacation home in Australia

2) a woman with the body I had at age 19-20

3) a mystery shopper for sweaters, purses, shoes, restaurants, or even groceries (no home items or Lowes/Home Depot type items)

4) a philanthropist to implement some of my "dream" programs for kids, pregnant teens, and stray cats (being a millionaire or billionaire would help w/ this too!)

I am a graduate nurse, but I dream of...

1. Being the lead singer of a cool rock band...(love my karoake nights!)

2. Being a research specialist at the CDC that embarks on the cure for cancer...followed up by an institution being named for me after all of my contributions...(educational and financial!)

3. Being a great RN...(I have always dreamed of being a nurse, ever since I was a little girl. My aunt recently gave me a very old pic of me dressed in a nurse costume when I was around 5-6yrs old, I wish I could post it here...it looks so cool next to my graduation pic) :nurse:
