Curty, I say go for it. the post you wrote could have been my exact words of how I feel. and it gets so effin depressing sometimes. I mean, I know how you feel...that's what I'm trying to say. I truly do. and I have no opportunity really to do what you can do. I'm stuck with too much responsibility. I have no doubt your nursing skills are top notch...but don't worry if they aren't, it's nothing you can't learn. you will have a blast.
let's look at some of your "what ifs":
What if that doesn't happen?
- it will happen for sure. you can't stay huddled up in your house. you have to make a little effort.
What if I want to come back here, but my job will be gone?
- then you'll find another
What if I get really homesick?
- it'll pass. use the phone, write emails.
What if my parents become ill?
- you can't worry about things like this (I know it's hard). deal with it when it happens.
What if my jobs suck and are difficult to handle?
- you can!
What if it's me that needs to change and not my enviroment?
- child...I wonder the same thing. but I'm too perfect to think I need to change.
I just had to come out of seclusion for you. now, I must return. until next time my dears.
