whitewriter | The year 3000 (Reply)

My buddy hypothesised that perhaps in the year 3000 all our meaningless chats and posts and whatever would be textbook history, for our great great whatever kids to be learning about.

I hypothesised there won't be school anymore, just that you upload to your brain all the information you need and be done with it.

There was an insane stabbing in Bondi today. I heard a baby was stabbed + other ?seeimingly random people.

Then the cop shot the stabber.

Victims taken to all hospitals around the city including one of the ones I work at.

I think about changing professions to something without nightshift and the dirt of nursing.

Something like low level counselling- I was reading. however, that getting a degree or some sort of paper for counselling is useless and it's better to get something in social work (with counselling as an option) and then transition out of that.

I really need to sit down and work through, what my goal and aspirations for what I want my working life to look like, say 10 years down the track: and then start aiming for that now.

Midwifery is nice, but you can't just work in clinic alone.

Lactation consultant requires 5 years full time midwifery to start with and I can barely make part time. My GP asked me if I was going to try for it and I said - no lolz too hard. It's not the studies, but all the boxes you have to tick to get there. But I suppose once you get there you can do all sorts of work. In a lot of settings, and its the sort of thing you could do until you were well past pension age.

I like ICU but if I want to try other areas of nursing I can't really do both. Like child and family health... would mean giving up ICU for a time. They have dumb rules about working extra hours in different areas - it's quite hard to get variety. Its either /or.

I am so ridiculously fortunate not to have financial pressures upon my working decisions anymore. My main focus is: what do I want to do, and how does it best suit my own needs.

For now, RNs is okay. and I'm not fully ready to leave the ICU just yet.

I'm sure the feeling may come one day. The I'm done feeling.

I don't think it's quite there yet.
