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

[Elisheva]

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.

[ragingmomster, BSN, MSN, RN]

being a...

1) professional fiction reviewer - instead of the amateur I am now

2) world class poker player

3) professional home and office organizer (let me at those messy closets!)

4) the mother who would like to be a stay at home mom

[oneLoneNurse]

being An IT guy and/or

A Librarian

Both will soon be realities.

ok i'm reday for this!!

resignation:monkeydance:

i am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. i have decided i would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

i want to go to mcdonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

i want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

i want to think m&msare better than money because you can eat them.

i want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

i want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes,but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. all you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

i want to think the world is fair.

that everyone is honest and good.

i want to believe that anything is possible.

i want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again. :flowersfo

i want to live simple again.

i don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, :behindpc:

mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

i want to believe in the power of smiles,:wink2:

hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

so . . here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401k statements. i am officially resigning from adulthood.

and if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause........

....."tag! you're it."

pass this to someone and brighten their day by helping them remember the simple things in life.

((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

fg,

I am just trying to figure out how to pull this off as I wish for the same. I want to travel with my children and experience their wonder of the world. I am thinking I would like to buy and rv and work as a nurse when I graduate. I am sick and tired of having to be conventional and conservative. I am sick and tired of people telling me how to live just because I am "supposed" to. The h*ll with supposed to. I just want to live again!

[Midwest4me]

In my dreams I am a....

1) Owner/manager of a Starbucks store

2) Owner/manager of a bakery specializing in rolls, doughnuts, sourdough and whole-wheat breads

3) Owner of a small-town custom-made motorcycle company

4) Motorcycle test-rider

I am not a nurse, but is nursing so much of a drain that ya'll can't at least do some of this stuff in your spare time?

Get a part time job in a bakerey or a craft store

just 15-20 hours a week, who cares how much it pays do it for fun or a stress break from your "real" job

[zudy]

I would love to open up my own LTC facility.

I would also love to open my own LTC facility! It would be perfect, with beautiful gardens, great food, in a home-like setting. And of course, all the staff would be vastly overpaid, and love their job! The residents would be so happy!

I also dream of going back to that golf course in Maui, and hitting a hole-in-one on the signature hole!

An activist working to change negative opinions about the mentally ill and lobbying for better care of them.

I dream of being able to teach children, teens, and adults for that matter, the wrongness of negative opinions toward the mentally challenged.

I dream of being able to help Hurricane Katrina survivors the rest of the country has forgotten about.

When I first was out of high school and starting college and pre-nursing, I had high-fluting dreams about the amazing things I wanted to accomplish with my life. I still dream of doing something to make a difference...
