I took a year "off", which to me meant working and taking classes that had nothing to do with NS requirements! Part of me (now) feels like I kinda wasted a year, but I really needed that time to refocus and decide if nursing was really what I wanted. I was seriously burnt out and needed a break!<br /><br />I don't know what it'll take to make you feel certain... there are days I still doubt myself, but I know that's just my own insecurities. I hope you find some answers.<br /><br />(((hugs)))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-9147206003146731232010-03-23T09:21:35.813-05:002010-03-23T09:21:35.813-05:00Shop around for volunteering.

No time frame to get those 50 hours in. My son currently volunteers for his senior project, and sporadically gets his hours in.<br /><br />Also - if you feel that the health care field is your calling, go for it. There are so many different areas you can get into with a nursing degree! Not just hospital nursing either.AtYourCervixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238926588944507794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-81254151466883503072010-03-22T22:05:46.630-05:002010-03-22T22:05:46.630-05:00I have considered volunteering and was actually go...I have considered volunteering and was actually going to try to do it this summer (before all the chaos ensued). I still might try to work in a few hours here and there but most of the hospitals around here require me to committ to at least 4 hours a week and that just isn't feasable with my schedule at the moment. <br /><br />It's good to know that doubting oneself is normal. Or at least that I am not the only crazy person that doubts themselves. :pIt's just me :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05221551653882437330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-5903730446247382062010-03-22T21:22:35.437-05:002010-03-22T21:22:35.437-05:00I agree with Marianne.

Volunteering in an area that interests you could really help. <br /><br />And if it helps any, I doubted myself at least once a day while I was figuring what I wanted to do the rest of my life, too. :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273318414588638580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5646794933297365796.post-77295490017917633402010-03-22T14:43:49.447-05:002010-03-22T14:43:49.447-05:00Seeing that you work and are a mom, this may not b...Seeing that you work and are a mom, this may not be a realistic option, but, and I think I said this before, I STRONGLY recommend volunteering at the hospital. I started in the NICU last June to make sure nursing was the path I wanted... now I know, without a doubt, it is the field for me. Even if you can only do it a few hours a month, it still might be enough to help you realize if it's what you really want or not.<br /><br />Best wishes... it will all work out in the end.
