OPTIMISM FOR BEGINNERS

I am pretty magnificent these days. The sun is shining and that dreaded could of doubt and doom has lifted itself off of me. I am content where i am (for the moment that is) and i don't know if moving back to the city and switching programs is right for me anymore, I will really dig myself into a financial hole of sorts if I move from here. This is my list of cons:
1. Up rooting myself once again and having to find new room mates and an affordable place to live
2. Another 4 years of schooling and starting a new program.
3. No jobs in the city like out here.
4. I will be an undergrad in just over a year making big bucks. New car yes? If i move back home its another 3 until i can be an undergrad
5. Big bucks for rent

So, I think i will remain here. I really feel like i need to prove it to myself that i can do this. Being out of my element and all. I have made some minor adjustments to my work life..which were really weighing heavily on me and dragging me down. At the time when i was having my crisis and depression i was working on very HEAVY and depressing geriatric units all the time. These units consisted of people who were so far gone, not able to eat or toilet themselves... no quality of life. I decided to avoid these units and now my attitude has changed. I do love psychiatry and i am questioning now if i even want to do my RN? If i could get a job in Brain Injury Rehabilitation in the future with some eating disorders or addiction on the side i think i could be very content. Its a downer that people give psych not enough credit but thats because they are idiots. My first clinical is almost done, one more shift left! And it has been so rewarding. Last week I created a nursing intervention for one of my clients and implemented it, it was so amazing to see it in action and actually improving her quality of life. the unit even adopted it and gave me credit. I later walked into the conference room and over heard them saying that we were the most helpful students that they ever had. Way to rub my ego.

Anyways im lazy and don't feel like sharing any of my recent hospital adventures. im going to europe thanks to my tax returns.

And my internet is flakier than your mothers shoulders.
