Today we got to spend a lot of time with the M2 students. It was really interesting to me to hear the things that they were learning. It is very similar in concept to what I am learning in Nursing school. It was very fulfilling for me to know that the education I am getting is exactly what I want to receive. I didn't want to wait four years to start getting a medical education. I wanted to have it now. And I am getting it. I am getting to work with patients and learn medical procedures now, I do not have to wait.
I have had my doubts about choosing nursing instead of medical school. However, today's activities made me quite certain in my endeavors. Pre-med students get a science degree basically. Then, they have to apply to med-school, get in, and then start their medical education. I could never do that. I am enjoying the start of my career. I am enjoying the medicine I am learning. I could not imagine myself waiting. I also could not imagine myself learning the sciences the way that pre-med majors do. I am, just simply, not that interested nor adequate at the sciences that they learn. I am however great and the sciences that I learn. And getting to spend so much time with the M2 today allowed me to come to the understanding that I don't belong anywhere but here. I belong in nursing school. I belong in this career. I have found the perfect track and I can stop worrying so much. I could never imagine taking the track that they have. I only see myself in nursing. I can't see myself waiting years and years to start a career. Especially when I find myself so content with the opportunities my career offers. Today offered a good reflection on my own wishes.
