hi there and thanks for reading this! here's what's going on, i'll try to stick to the point. lol i'm currently an unemployed ncma/ncpt (national certified medical assistant and national certified phlebotomy technician) and i would love to become a nurse!! i feel like i was put on this earth to reach out to people that are hurting and let them know, even in a small way, that someone actually cares for them. so many people are hurting and i want to make a difference!! my heart is in the right place now i need some direction on how to go about doing this. i now have the opportunity to go to nursing school but i have something that could potentially hole me back, it makes me so sad i could cry, please some advice would be soooo appreciated right now. =(( i am, as much as i don't want this personality trait, soft hearted to a certain degree. i left my other job after 6 years in a doctor's office (internal medicine) due to the following: manager not doing their job; upper manager thinks manager is doing it and doesn't see a problem; being backstabbed and blamed for things when i did not do them by other medical assistants and no one listens when i speak up about it; doctor i worked for treated me like i'm stupid and worthless: me (possibly not sure) being on the "do not hire" black-ball list because of lies that came from co-workers and managers at this place now. with all these things here, as much as i loved the patients, i had to leave, i was beginning to believe the doctor was right and i was almost thinking of suicide. thank god my family noticed this (since i isolated myself and was a workaholic, first one there, last one to leave) and now i'm much better lol. i am not crazy i hope you guys don't think i am!! lol main question is, how do i become a person that can handle all that and still work in that environment? i found i had to leave in this example above. i loved what i did soooo much, i love the patients (ages from 40-105), i loved how i could bring a smile on there face, i love my fellow man/woman, i want to help!!!!! i feel so lost now, since i feel that i am blacklisted, i truely believe from this past company, which shares info with a lot of other companies (yay for giant monopolies). i feel so lost!!!! sincerely please, any advice would be helpful! how do i change so i can go into nursing anyone please???? how do i survive the "ceo monopoly games and office politic sharks" and still touch human kind with love so they know people still care on this planet???? sooooooo lost and very sad, me
