: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)
A lingerie model:D, but if that didn't work out.....Nursing!!!! I am only a student.....which I feel like I will be a forever student. Oh, can we pick "lottery winner" as something we would like to be??
After a night of dealing with drug seeking whiners, I would love the peace and quiet of stocking shelves in a grocery store somewhere on night shift. The canned green beans would not yell at me or tell me to hurry up. I'm calmer just thinking about it.
my biggest pet peeve about nursing is being stuck inside a single building/unit for hours upon hours. Ideally, I'd find myself in a job that keeps me outdoors. My cousin and her husband are anthropologists/palentologists - so playing in the dirt all day sounds awesome! otherwise, I'd get my pilots license, move to Alaska, and be a bush pilot/tour guide/wildlife photographer living in a small log cabin with at least 100 acres to call my own - hehe. :)
Love it!!!!...and EXACTLY!!! you hit it right on the head for me...being indoors all day blows, but I think that's why I gravitate to HOme health because it allows me to get out..so to speak.
I would be a teacher or work somewhere in law enforcement. The military forced me to train in military police, but I don't see doing the field work side of it. I would like to work in administration or as a dispatcher. This is all assuming that it remains just as hard to get a teaching job as a nursing job.
This has been a fun post, reading everyone's idea of a better or more fun career. Since I was a little girl, I was always told that I talked too much, and in elementary school, I always tried to help everyone else before I did my own work. I grew up wanting to be a teacher, but in Jr. High, I decided I wanted to be an Orthodontist. While in High School, the counselors introduced me to the nursing program that was looking for students out of High School. I went on to become an LPN, and then years later completed my RN.
I still thought about being a teacher, so I decided to substitute teach at my son's school. I did this for a few years on my days off from nursing, but it just did not fill that void. As I worked as an RN, I loved the new grads and new nurses to my unit, because I would get to preceptor and mentor them. They all told me I should teach nursing, that I was really good at it, making them feel comfortable in what they are doing. I went back to school for my BSN, and I am now teaching an LPN/RN 1 + 1 program. I absolutely love it. It is everything I always wanted, and more!!!! I have found that career that I had always hoped I would find. I feel privileged to be able to do what I had dreamed I could do later in life.
I also like being a lifelong student, I love school!!! Going to school, teaching school, whatever!!!! A lot more school for me in the future, working on my MSN, and hopefully enough energy to continue for my PhD. Teaching is awesome!!!
So in essence...yeah...you talk too much...LOLOL
I'm just playing with you!!!!:redbeathe
BTW I am also having a great time reading you guys replies!!!! It is almost an escape of some sort. Keep them coming!!!!
Look for my next thread titled " What would you describe as your perfect weekend off?"

This job has always appealed to me but whenever I go to inquire about a job in stocking at night, I get told they stock during the day or they don't hire stockers, regular day employees stock as an additional duty.

work for a vendor who does their own stocking...store manager can tell you which items are vendor stocked...typically beer, wine, soda, chips, and many brand name products
I'm going into HIM, not nursing, but if I could pick my fun, utterly impractical job, I'd read and evaluate submitted morificecripts for a publisher. I read voraciously anyway, so it would be nice to get paid for it!
