Where do you see yourself in 5 Years???

Q. · May 13, 2001

Hmmmm....

I have a few scenarios here.

I could stay exactly where I am at, although maybe lose one per diem job, and hopefully be doing some prenatal education coordination at this brand new clinic dedicated to Women's Services....

OR

Be up and around as a traveler, seeing everything I wanted to see, taking advantage of the shortage so it doesn't take advantage of me......

OR

Returning to school for my MSN and working towards becoming a professor.

In 5 years, I will be 61y/o. I'd like to be RETIRED!!! I can maybe work one day a week per diem, volunteer as a cuddler, and hold babies w/o having to document a dang thing! And---lastly, HAVE FUN!!

Well, let me see....In about 5 years I would like to have given birth to a child. Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford to be a stay at home mom, although that would be what I would WANT to do, so I'll still be a nurse but maybe only 2 or 3 days a week. Eventually, I would like to be working in Labor and Delivery/Postpartum. That is my dream job. I've been a nurse for almost 4 years now and I'm about sick of med surg and working with the elderly!

Could be a few answers here. I have considered obtaining a nursing home administrators license and I am now starting my original business again as a farrier and horse trainer and consultant.

I used to love my job as a nurse, now it is usually stressful. I still enjoy being a nurse but I would like to actually do more bedside nursing as opposed to passing pills and charting. To once again be surrounded by satisfied staff would also be nice.

I really enjoy training horses even though I am much smellier and my muscles usually hurt everywhere when I go home, the apathy is missing and the horses dont treat me like some kind of slave at a resort.
