Take it from me (an inspiring word)

I became a nurse, at long last. Despite all odds and also to the  fact that I am almost 60 years old when I started to study nursing.

But I know I am strong enough to tackle.
I was motivated to continue despite of treats, difficult challenges - factors that could lead me to stop the school. Three times, I have almost given up the nursing study. Thank God
it didn't happen.Thanks to people around me who have supported me with their friendship and encouragement, I was able to keep my focus and  struggle until the end and finally to reach the goal.

The actual life.

Now as nurse, it is a new life for me.

I still work on shifts, every third weekend. But there is no more pressure unlike before and the salary is higher than before so I can start to relax.  I am excited to report to work because I love it. All is related. Harmony. When I do enjoy working, I also love to have free. Appreciating a day-off, I can start to make plans for the week-end, unlike before. There was no proper week-end for me. 

Now I feel I have the control. “This week-end I can relax, no one from the office could call and put me to work, for I don’t need, anymore.

And that is not the practice either.  For nurses are nurses with different job-laws applied. It had to be like that or else it would be wrong use of resources.

This is my new world and I am enjoying it. I feel I have acquired a new power and possibilities in life like I’ve never had before. Perhaps, I can realize myself and start up my hobbies again.

Like painting, music, and the natural therapy, and the exciting world of color in terms of therapy and healing.

I love being a nurse. It is a dream- come-true for me. Looking back at 1999 with all the problems I met when I tried to enter the nursing school for the first time. I got no for an answer from NAV. That time I was suffering from a post-traumatic syndrome. So I was told or redirected to jump into other type of study. So I went into a Master-study for two years, and I did not regret.

But my first dream was there all the time, despite of the fact that i landed on different types of job and gathered a lot of experience. But I still wanted to become a nurse.

Then the nursing school was ready to accept me. I waited for sixteen years.  For even if I waited until I was 54 when I started nursing, it was worth the waiting.
There is no such thing as wasted for me. And I was productive all these years, by engaging on different works, activities and studies. 
Sometime in 2000, I went to a natural therapy school to study,  in-order to become a natural-therapist. I became one and this is a special interest for me. A part-time activity, a hobby.

If you have a dream of becoming someone, go for it, say yes to people who wish to help you in times when you feel down and are demotivated to continue. Pursue your dream until you succeed. Life is a constant struggle. But it is your responsibility to enjoy in between while you can. Take a needed rest. Strive to find a little balance between rest and the several activities within a 7 days period of week. This is my advice.
