Nursing specialty brainsourcing!

[PaleoLMT]

Hi All!

I am a nursing student about to graduate. Along my journey of growth and introspection through nursing school, I have been getting to know myself better. And I realize that as much as hospital and bedside nursing, and even the whole health profession spoke to me when I first started school, I am now veering off on a different path.

I am looking for ideas, including and especially things that are a bit unique, to do with my degree. I don't even mind having a few part time jobs! I realize now that my main interest is anything involving creativity and different experiences. Something that challenges my mind and spirit. I am a licensed massage therapist, I have a strong interest in fashion, design and aesthetics as well. I am a very big advocate of holistic integrative medicine and nutrition, and I also love working with infants. I know this is a diverse spectrum but these are all things that fulfill me.

All suggestions are welcome! Thank you!

Truly, the only thing you can do with a nursing license/degree is to be a nurse. And a new grad nurse is only halfway educated and this is limited in job options.

So while I respect your desire to express your creativity, this may be an example of needing to find creative outlets in addition to the job that supports you.
