:rolleyes:Ok...SO I am curious because at least once a month, I don't want to be a nurse. Maybe something triggers that or IDK, but I actually think I could be a singer. Or just travel the world...but I would need alot of money for that. Maybe a farmer- I know sounds crazy but...sometimes I just want to be free like that.
I went to school for 6 years and studied art...then I made the switch because I knew it would be a "fall-back career.
Art is an unpredictable market so...
Now...wait a minute...for all you hecklers out there, I enjoy being a nurse, and this "fall-back" thing was when I first started. My view has changed, so don't post anything passing judgement.
So....yeah.... If you weren't a nurse what would you be? (esp. in this dry desert of an economy)
Well, I was a Military Police Officer for a little while and was going to be a police officer or Lawyer, but changed my mind. Being a Lawyer is too much desk and paperwork!! I would really like to be an Engineer. I was going to school to be an Engineer and then fell in love with neonatal nursing! I still would like to eventually get a degree in Constructional Engineering some day. I always wanted to design and build!!
right now I would just go for a job that allows me to sit and take all the alloted breaks, 30 min lunch and two 15mins breaks............ what a dream! Now I am really considering what to do with my life. I have been a nurse for about 6 mos and I can't see myself doing it long term.
Well, I'd be in law enforcement, specifically a detective. I watch all those documentary type crime shows, Cold Case Files, American Justice, City Confidential, you name it, I'm glued to it. Or something creative. What, I do not know.
Some of ya'll should write your stories or at least blog. I would love to hear how police officers become nurses or soliders or engineers or whatever.
I actually see aspects of nursing in many professions. I get creative with wound care; reverse engerineering whatever was done previously to that ostomy. How many times have I had to play security, lawyer and Major Houlihan with parents and docs?
