Well, I graduate from nursing school in 5 1/2 weeks...my pinning ceremony is October 23. I can't believe that it's finally almost here, and I honestly am not totally sure what I want to do. I have submitted my resume to my current employer, and that's pretty much it. I think that, a year ago, I had a pretty clear picture of what I wanted to do in my mind. Now that it's almost here, I'm 5 1/2 weeks from finishing something important for the first time in my life (I do have one degree, but it's arbitrary--only because I have meandered through school long enough to have enough credits), I'm finding that there are so many roads I could take, I don't know which one is the right one. I think I'm afraid of making a mistake, because I've made so many in the past.

I know I don't want to get stuck in a rut. I've complained that I've felt trapped for the last decade, and I've not had a viable way to remedy that. Now I do. I mean, not immediately (I'd thought of finding a job outside of my region immediately, but I soon deemed that unwise for a number of reasons), but within the near future. And I just want to make the decisions that are going to lead to a better, different future than the one I was headed toward prior to going back to school.

Does that make sense?
