Here's the thing. For the first time in my life I am not attending school of some sort. I graduated high school. I graduated college. I landed my dream nursing job in the NICU at an awesome local hospital. I completed 4 months of intensive orientation. And after 5 months of being on my own as an "adult" nurse, I hate to say it, but I think I'm...bored?
I love love love my job, don't get me wrong. And I know there's always more to be learned in the neonatal field. And trust me, I'm always carrying around my NICU Handbook to read. But I just feel like I need to be doing something else now. It's like I reached my goal of being a nicu nurse, so now what?
I eventually want to go to school to become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. So I've been researching that lately. But I'm still such a new nurse, I feel like it's too soon to go back to school. But then again, the sooner the better. Heck, once I finished NNP school I'd probably be right back where I am twiddling my thumbs! Haha
Other things I have also researched: Starting a jewelry business...What? And finding medical mission trips to go on in foreign countries. Neither of which are free. Blah.
Does anyone else experience this constant need to be doing or planning something?!
Tell me I'm not crazy people!
