I need coffee

so...after a few months of slacking off and totally losing interest in what is obviously going to be my destined career...i'm back in nursing school! and a new one at that. picked one closer to home so soften the blow just a little bit.

i can't believe that when i was younger- and my best friends know this- i wanted to be a pediatrician. what a joke. you couldn't PAY me enough to get anywhere hear the pediatrics ward. i'm telling you, that was THE WORST rotation i've ever had. it wasn't that i couldn't handle it...but kids apparently now hate me. i am officially the boogeyman with a syringe. so....i've taken up huose in the surgical ward. man, those pre and post-op patients adore me. hahaha. no really...they do! i guess i work better with people in pain. or maybe it's because they know i can give them pain killers...*shrug* oh well...whatever...

anyway, i've given up the doctor dream. i heard malpractice insurance looks like the grim reaper. but i have no idea why i wanted to become a nurse in the first place. none of my friends wanted to but they all finished before me *sigh* that's okay, that's life. it's not over yet. at least i'm getting an education (hardy har har)...no, but seriously...i look good in a scrub suit and i look even better in white but it's just not me...i like power suits and toques and clipboards and cellphones and big offices without a view of the operating room (which i also happen to love) but of course...let's be practical. i'm here with a year and a half to go. can't look back now. but hey! maybe someday i can finally  be a secretary!!! just kidding...

so...congratulations to all the new nurses out there...i envy you guys...do us proud!!! maybe someday i can actually say i'm proud to be following in my parents' footsteps...just as long as nobody dies on me...in which case...that's not my fault!!!!

hugs and kisses!
