What Kind of Nurse do I Want to be?
I have been bombarded by so many options that I am really not so sure I have any idea yet. I have always wanted to help people, which way is the best, I do not know. But I would like to work in a career where I would be able to spend nights, weekends, and holidays with my future family. So that basically eliminates emergency nursing and med\surge nursing. I know that I wouldn’t have to work all night every night or every weekend or holiday but even the stress of working any of those would just not be fun to deal with especially if you have to work a holiday but your family plans a vacation after you have been scheduled and then trying to find some one to cover your holiday shift oh boy not fun at all. I worked as a CNA at TOSH in Murray and dealt with a situation just like that, I never want to deal with that again I would much rather work 9-5.
Nurse practitioner might be something I’d like to pursue because if I started my own practice I could work when I wanted and not have the stress of trying to get others to cover my shifts if I am sick or otherwise unavailable. My wife thinks I am great with kids and I tend to enjoy the time I spend with kids so I think a great option for me would be to open a pediatrics clinic as a nurse practitioner. I therefore would be able to work the times I want to and work with kids, while avoiding the stress of a hospital. The only downside I see is that working with children I might not be able to handle seeing them in pain or with a life threatening injury or terminal illness but I don’t know how much of that I would see in a clinic but, anyway please give me your feedback and feel free to edit my horrible writing style while your at it.
