New Year, New Day
No more dwelling in the past though I must say 2005 wasn't a bad year.
It is now officially 2006! You know what I did when I woke up this morning? I started setting my plans into motion. This year is going to special (being positive is my New Year's resolution). I've always just let life lead me instead of the other way around. Midway through 2005 I realized I am capable of so much more but I was just too lazy to get up and take action.
What was supposed to be my last day at work (Friday Dec 30th) turned out to be one less headache I would've had to deal with come 2006. I guess my Supervisor really likes me because she pulled strings to allow me to work around my school schedule. I will continue to bring in steady income without all the hassle of having to find a new job that wouldn't mind the sporatic work hours and that payed decently.
I can now say I am officially a Nursing Student. It's going to be hell the next 2 years but I'll make it. I spent about a year and a half after graduation as a research assistant at my alma mater and the last half of 2005 working at an HR firm dealing solely with employee benefits. Now I'm taking a different direction, careerwise, and moving towards healthcare. My goal: graduate with my second BS degree but this time in nursing (RN license), enter a graduate program to attain either a Masters in Healthcare Adminstration (MHA) or a Masters in Business (MBA). I might go for the latter because an MHA can be very limitting and an MBA tends to provide a general management core followed by courses specializing in health care. “Helping by leading” is my motto. With the current state of healthcare being more about politics (10 in, 1 out... more money for less), a sort of factory, it's obvious there is a lack of true leadership at the top. I'm not going to get ahead of myself so at this point I'm just taking things one day at time.
For now, I'm content with knowing that I'll be alright. Finally, I am feeling like my life is going a direction I want it to go and not what everyone else has been planning for me. I said 2005 would be a good year, and it was, and I'm confident 2006 will be as well.
