I am a graduate nurse at the moment, waiting impatiently for my ATT. I can't wait to start working as a nurse! My plan for the next year is to work my butt off and pay down student loans, accumulate savings, etc. The only concern on my mind is my fiancé. He is an amazingly talented violinist who wants to start his own music school in China. It sounds crazy on the surface, but he is the perfect person to do this (being Taiwanese, speaks perfect mandarin and English without an accent), already has financial backing, and already has a talented business partner with both experience and connections. I back him 110 percent on this plan. Not only that, but I want to go with him! That would about a year from now. After one year for me as an RN. What will happen to my career after I come back after a year abroad? I really want to do something while I'm in China that has to do with healthcare. I doubt I could work as a Chinese nurse (I don't speak more than 5 words), but what would you guys suggest? Volunteer work? I also eventually want to get my masters and doctorate, but I know that even most online programs make you come on campus once per semester for various reasons. Summary: Most likely going to China for at least a year after I have worked as an RN for a year. What should I do to better myself as a nurse and person?
