I would have gone to school to become a Registered Dietitian. I still may follow that goal. I dunno.

It's a toss up between Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, Exclusive pharmacist for pro football and baseball, or 2nd mate on a tramp steamer.

Specializes in PICU.

I can't imagine doing anything else besides being a PICU nurse, which is definitely my calling and gift. However, I do wish I hadn't waited so long to go back to school for my AC-PNP. Yet, all things happen for a reason. I have loved being able to spend so much time at home with my kids, and I'm not sure how well that's going to work out once I complete my master's.

Specializes in Critical Care.

I would be an interior designer and travel the world or a teacher and then I could have weekends, holidays, winter and spring break and summers off. I hate how nursing takes away your life all the weekends and holidays that are sacrificed and how difficult it is to even get a week or two off in the summer.
