Nursing career? Decisions NOW

Career. If there will be one.. because of what? It’s unclear whether we’ll still have peace. Here, or in the world. I hate that I used to write about myself so often — sharing news and thoughts about unimportant things and so on… I want to ask, how are you doing? Is everything okay? Are you afraid — I won’t ask, we’re all tense, no matter which corner of the earth we live in… I hug each and every one of you. :people_hugging::people_hugging:

In short — I’ll be a nurse. If the opportunity arises in life, if my country is not in a state of war in the near future, I will go study advanced nursing. Working with computers, research, and cardiac machines already excites me — all that’s left is to learn the more essential, “primary” healthcare procedures and… earn the diploma. I think becoming a nurse is my dream. I know that personality-wise I’m a go-between, an observer, quick-thinking. That’s everything that would be needed for it. I don’t know — I might have become a doctor too — but that feels like something I wouldn’t fully see myself in. More precisely, a place where I wouldn’t fit… and 10–14 years of study puts me off. Just lack of patience. Thank you to those who are with me on this path. Wishing peace and easy evenings. Even if the TV is giving you a stomach ulcer — take care..:pink_heart:

I hope you make your dream come true. It’s a lot of work, but if it’s your dream, it’s worth it.

I will evaluate myself very calmly over this year. Still, I could start studying from next fall… if work continues to drive me forward in every sense, it means I’ve found my field.

But as of today, I feel calm, satisfied, engaged, and even able to give advice to other colleagues after just a short time of working here! It’s exciting. Thank you. :shooting_star:

I think.that nursing and medicine is an extremely important field, even more so in times of unrest and turmoil. Also, EMT/paramedics are very important during such times.

I’d suggest acting sooner rather than later

Thought about a job in medicine but to get the qualifications is near impossible now that I have so many responsibilities that prevent me giving it the time to learn

Don’t think you would regret it as a lot of these roles are universal across all countries

These books supposedly guarantee A’s in registered nursing school. These are all the main classes once you’re in the program and have taken prerequisites. They’re in English. It’s a set for under $80. All the info. You can’t beat it. Could be used along class for better understanding. Good luck.

People. You are wonderful in every way… they may seem like small things – but the help, the kind encouragement makes me feel proud of everyone and of myself and… happy. Thank you. @Moonbeam @bosozoku @Joker

Especially to you!! I’m a lover of literature, though for some reason, when it comes to required reading, I always struggle to make myself sit down to it. But it’s a wonderful thought, thank you, thank you! @2Waynez

Do you follow today’s political news?

In Romania, in Poland as well – sirens are wailing today.

And what is Lithuania? Tiny… most likely no one will defend us. I’m not deeply religious, but even a prayer will be said tonight. For the sake of peace of mind.

Now I feel like a messed-up heartless person and in the wrong.

May I ask where you live?… I’ll probably make you feel bad with this question, but when did it happen?

Wow… so much happened in your country at that time.

You saw it all with your own eyes… I hope that the ghosts of the past visit you less and less now?

Stay strong. @zoa

We are all people of the same blood and led by the same hope – 90% of us, if asked the question, “do you expect or want war?” would feel fear, disgust, not desire…
