My dream job.
Well, here I am.. finishing up the first week of nursing intern orientation. We haven't done anything exciting yet; we've learned how to use the computer charting and medication system and we've done a few required courses online. The fun stuff (NCLEX and actually being on the floor) is coming soon.
This is it. I'm here. In August of 2005 I took my first college classes and five-and-a-half long, at times difficult and taxing years later, I'm here. I made it.
People sometimes ask what my dream job would be. I always answer, "A rock star! But really, a nurse." This is my dream job ... and I've achieved it (weird feeling).
I am so blessed and fortunate to be called into this profession, in which my heart and passion lie, and yet it is also very much stable in terms of making a living. I am very fortunate.
We were all created for something; we all have dreams, career-related or not---dreams that were meant to be not only pursued and fought for, but also accomplished successfully and passionately.
I hope I can be a source of love, support, encouragement, and motivation that all my loved ones have been for me. I hope I get to be there to hear about their "weird feelings" when they've reached their goals (and then again when they make new ones after that!)
I'm already wondering about what my next steps and my next goal will be. That's the thing about dreams---they don't stop just because one is complete. And that's the thing about dreamers---they don't stop dreaming.
