In 10 years...

Hey guys, just started the nursing program at my school. I'll finish up in the Spring of 2010. I got to thinking the other day about where I want to be in 10 years. For me, I'll be 34 and hopefully working in trauma, ICU, ER, or flight nursing. I'd also like to earn my BSN. Anyway, I thought it would be a fun question to pose to the other guys on here. So, where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I graduate next June, I am 53, and I don't want to think about 10 years from now!

Haha, touche my friend. Perhaps "job you want upon graduation" would be more appropriate. :D

I am not sure what I want to do. It is not set in stone, however, I have an externship opportunity at our regional burn center starting in January. I am pretty stoked about that!

Thought I would like ER until my wife (BSN) moved into ER and comes home with all of her stories.

I am our NSNA chapter president and we just started a monthly "Meet & Greet" event. We ask RNs in specialties that we might not have a rotation in that dept to come and share with us what they do. We provide lunch for everyone while the program is going on. The first one (last Thursday) we had a flight nurse come in; she was great! Flight nursing sounds like a really great gig. I was in the US Coast Guard (100 years ago) and being in helicopters was cool then; BUT, by the time I did 3 years in a ICU and got all of the ACLS, etc, I would be 58. Perhaps not a realistic goal to shoot for.....

Once I have some experience and my wife finishes her MSN, we want to do travel nursing for 2-3 years.

Sounds interesting. I've never really looked into a burn unit.

10 years closer to retirement, with money in the bank and a wife willing to travel the world.

Thats a really good question. For me I will be 31 with my BSN probably working in the ER and I hope that by that time I have at least started on my path to become an NP if not already graduated with my MSN.

I'm 26, just finished my B.ScN. In 10 years I hope to be on the way to being a nurse practitioner.

I hope to also have no student loans at that time!

In 10 years wewwwww. I should have way accomplished my goal as a PA or ARNP. Hopefully find a nice gentleman, get married. any takers lol

But for now I'm interested in going into Cath Lab after I graduate in 2010 with my BSN.

Good luck to all students in whatever your dreams and aspirations are!

The sky is the limit.

I am currently 53 years old. I would like to semi-retire in about 10 years -- work part time teaching nursing theory and research.

Rich, famous and delusional.

I mean, still working, raising a family, owning a home, relatively debt free and loving life. As for nursing I have no idea where I'll be. ICU, Trauma, still on Step-down? I don't know.

I don't plan that far in advance!

Hopefully be finished with my CRNA then owning a house, a wife(well not own) some kids a picket fence and a boat!
