hard times.

well running isnt the answer.Ask your self what it it tht you truly want to do with your life and then reach for that goal.If your not sure then ask you self what gift do I have and then see if there is a way to make it work for you.We all face a slump in our lives and arent happy with what we may be doing,We just have to find out what it is we do want to do and then go for it.Anything you may do though takes time and alot of effort but the rewards in the end are well worth it.Good luck in your quest.

It depends how far into your studies you are. If you are 2nd year are you not nearly qualified? It may be that you are feeling a bit stressed out with all the studying. Is there someone who teaches the course that you can talk to about this. Don't just pack it in until you explore all your options as tht would be a bit of a waste after all this time. There are lots of options open to qualified nurses that don't always involve hands on nursing and you might want to look at that side of nursing. For example here in the UK a friend of mine became a nurse and ended up in charge of her own ward helping people to begin to look after themselves after they had had strokes. It was so interesting when she told me and did not require her to do any hands on care. You might be able to speciale in physiotherapy or even helping people who want to lose weight or need help with their diet. Or once you qualify you could change career and use your nursing qualification to do that. It could be that you could change courses now and be credited for the studying you have done so far. Don't make a rash decision that you might regret and do get advice from the people teaching you on the options open to you once you qualify. Good luck as you obviously have a caring nature to have chosen this profession.
