I've been asked by many, what's next for me? Will I go back? The best answer I have, is there are many more adventures in my life that I am looking forward to. I don't know that my heart will lead me back to Africa, in particular, but I know I have in my heart to do many trips similar to the one I just finished. Maybe I will find a group (of nurses, doctors, volunteers) that is already established in traveling to help those in great need. Maybe I will stay closer to home. Either way, I think that my career path is just beginning...I think I will have the chance to make a difference every day, no matter what I do or where I go.
For now, I am enjoying adjusting to my "normal" life in the US. In the next two weeks I will be packing up my life into many boxes and moving south to the big city of MKE to start the next phase of my career as a Nurse Intern. I have mixed emotions with this move. Nervous. Excited. I am looking forward to the transition into a role as a professional nurse; graduation is just around the corner in December. The best part of nursing (in my opinion!) is the amount of flexibility within the profession. I know that eventually I will go back for an advanced degree, but right now, I am looking forward to starting my career, getting a lot of experience, building my skills and of course, learning something new every day.
My first day as a NI is July 5th. I am tentatively moving July 7th. As always, life happens quickly, and I'm doing my best to keep up with where I'm going next! Thanks for being a part of my adventure :)
Stay tuned...
