Not so much a dream career but a dream escape out of nursing, but not completely out of nursing since that would mean starting over with a new degree, new shit to pay for, more debt. I got into informatics, hoping to capitalize on my nursing experience combined with my desire to make EMR software usable for the users. I didn’t go anywhere with that degree. I didn’t get a job as an informaticist. Now I’m stuck in a nursing job I hate and it is making me suicidal, and my BF is getting worn out because of my flare-up of CPTSD symptoms. He also suffers from anxiety so he feels a lot of what I feel. I am very intent on finding an apprenticeship program for a trade I think I’d be decent at: Communications or low voltage systems. I came back from an apprenticeship graduation event, part of the perks of being with my BF who works very closely with the unions who run them. I hope I can make a good career in this field.

Nursing is not a good choice for all of you if you are sick of your dead end jobs or dead end careers. Nursing is full of psychopathic beeaches. If you’ve ever gotten any bad vibes from many nurses, this is why. I am getting out by hook or by crook. Yeah sure, it may destroy my chances of emigrating to a western country in the short term, but long term, I think I’d be better off. And I could still parlay any new trade skills into permanent residency in another western country. However, I also got my nursing license in British Columbia. I’m still torn.
