Everyone has dreams and goals that they want to achieve in their life. My dream, since I was nine, was to be a nurse.
The reason why I didn't put an article out last week was because I worked 52 hours in one week, had one day off then worked another 40 hours including a 12-hour shift. I work at a walk-in clinic and with college kids coming back it was insane! I was burnt out. It took everything I had not to get upset over the little things and keep caring for those that needed me. The only thing that held me together was coming home to the most loving and understanding boyfriend anyone could ever ask for!

To be honest, I didn't follow my own rules from my first article, and I paid the price.
Even your dream job isn't always what it's cracked up to be. I'm not trying to be a "Debbie Downer," but I'm trying to be realistic. You are going to have bad days, but that doesn't mean give up on what you truly love. Keep fighting!
I knew that I only needed a weekend off to regroup myself and I was going to be OK. In fact, I even had a good Monday!
What? She did not just say that! Is she human?
Why yes I am. I just needed to refocus myself and remind myself why I wanted to be a nurse and I could love my job again!
It's OK to have bad days, even with your dream job! It doesn't make you a bad person to hate your job, and you shouldn't feel guilty; it's just your mind telling you to slow down and listen to your gut instincts! Your body and mind know what they need. Stop and listen. Do what I say, not what I do.
