This is really tough for me to swallow, but I'm not loving nursing as a career.
I graduated from my BSN program almost a year ago. I was at the top of my class. I worked very hard for 4 years to get this degree. So why am I not loving nursing?
Since before college, I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. When I realized how much in student loans I would be taking out vs the amount of pay I would be receiving, I backed out and went for nursing instead. I felt like nursing would be a better investment financially. (I know, that's probably a bad reason to go into nursing). I do like people and I love children! I work with kids every day, and my job is very comfortable and stress-free. I work at a clinic currently.
Is it a bad idea to go to school? Should I try to get a school nursing job and forgo another degree? I feel like I shouldn't give up just yet, but I really want to go back to school and get my degree in elementary education. There is an adult weekend/online/evening option at a local university.
