For years Ive been pursuing a nursing career, to become RN and specialize in OB. Well, went thru half a year of school, things got messed up with loans and being single mom working all night...bla bla bla so Ive been out for a year. I never stopped studying all my books though.
So for the past few months, ive really been thinking. Is nursing what I have a real passion for? When I think bout the money, the passion sits at 100%. When I think about all the school-and my short attention span/memory skill with all the lil things we gotta know, the passion drops to about 50%. Helping others because I have a huge heart full of compassion, is what I want to do. But Im just not so sure about nursing.
Something that I found myself over the years doing is helping/counseling women --my stripper friends- who are in abusive relationships. Ive been there when I was young, being a victim of abuse and watching my mother be a victim by the men in her life. I can relate. I have such a drive to be there for them...and one day I want to be the one that the whole city can come to for help. Maybe have my own shelter type thing...something. IDK. But this is what I want to do. How broad is this field? This means going to school for psychology? Social work? I have so many questions. Anybody doing anything like this?
Input and advice, please! Thanks!
