I am still not certain about exactly what field of nursing I want to go into. This is the definite "NO" list:
- Anything OB: Being all up in another woman's WhooHa is just not my ball of wax. Oh, and catching that critter as it slides or is forceped out of Mom, no thank you. I have no problem with blood and guts, but massaging funduses to make them contract and bleed, um, that's a big no too. And I don't want to inspect your episiotomy for a living. Ew factor to the nth degree. So, no OB.
- Psych: I am too afraid I will see my family there. And those people are crazy.
- Geriatrics: It is a character flaw, I realize, but I am not cut out for the old person stuff. Or to be groped by the dirty old man when taking his vitals. I like healthy old people because they are a riot, but no sick ones please, I already have one of those.
- Med-Surg: Boooorrringgggg. Pass meds, chart, no adrenaline. There are great med-surg nurses out there, but I don't think I am one of them.
So, you wonder, what does the possible yes list hold?? This list is in very faint pencil, so don't hold me to it.
- Big person ICU or trauma. This should be no surprise to those who know me. The down side is I would want the best training and it is found at Parkland.....
- Research nursing: Just do what I do now only make gobs more $$. Not such a bad deal.
- Pediatrics: Shocking, huh? I liked my Children's rotation. I don't know if I could do it full time, but it is not on the No list.
- After I have worked for a while, I will go back to university and teach. I have always loved teaching and I know I will end up there.
This is the list so far. Anyone out there with any ideas, I am all ears. It is a little strange for me personally to not be driven in one specific direction. This is why I am getting my RN; choices. I can do anything I want, this was the whole deal.
Go to the light, go to the light!!!!
