All the NPs I’ve gone to have been amazing. Seriously, seriously amazing. The one at my fertility clinic was the first time I’d ever felt better after a conversation. With that being said, I think you’d make a fantastic NP. Go for it!

God, I completely feel that “degree regret” feeling as I’ve been trapped in a miserable job that isn’t where/what I want in any way shape or form. I also feel your “what do i want to do anyway?” feeling a little…too well. And I don’t know about you, but one of the most frustrating things *I* see are people younger than me that have a great plan early on. Or people who have passion for their careers.

You’re not alone and frankly, its somewhat of a relief to know that others feel the same way…so never feel like you are depressing your readers. Its not good to FEEL that way of course, but misery does love company.

Hang in there! And key, at least running helps with the stress…right?

I’m going through the same “what do I want to be when I grow up crisis” I’m toying with grad school for Public Health, because I love health. I’d probably have to do part time though because I need to still make money and have health insurance and all that jazz.

Its frustrating as hell figuring out what we’re supposed to do with our lives. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to school where everything was safe and easy and I didn’t have to worry about real life crap.

I can relate about crying about work even when not being there. I used to cry on pretty much any Sunday because I had to go to work the next day.. But there is always the bigger picture, I’ve finally figured out what I want to do and I only view this as a transition phase – but without it, I could not get to where I want to be one day (I see it as a ‘bridge’ on my journey)! Good luck!

a GOOD run (holy speed, geeze! ) is *always* the icing on the cake. you have Plenty of options with a nursing degree, and LOTS of time to figure yourself out

If you open that bakery, please have the option to order/deliver/ship! haha just sayin….

Have you not heard back from any of the applications you sent out?

If you want to be a NP, I think you should totally go for it! You are in charge of your happiness! Make the best of life

Awww hun! I agree, you need to find a non-toxic environment to work in. You should start getting things together to become a nurse practitioner! That is my end goal as well. I’m looking at University of TX Health Science Center in Houston. I’m interested in Women’s Health and will probably go straight through without working. As they don’t require you to have job experience. Coming from someone who’s also been at a job that made me cry every day, get out! It will feel like a million pounds lifted off your shoulders. If you want things to change, you have the power to change them. You have to make it happen though. No one else will! Hang in there. <3
