Question Author
Yeah, When I first posted this question I really was having a bad day and was feeling rubbish, now that I've had some time to chill out about and try to think things through in a more rational manner and the thought hasn't gone away... I don't think I'd see it as going backwards IF I made this decision, more like I'd have realised what truly made me happy.
Yeah you are right there, I Won't be with that particular mentor all the time (thankfully!) but like I say, I haven't had a 'moment' yet where I've thought, 'Yes, THIS is why I wanna be a nurse', I mean, yes, I find it all VERY interesting and am happy and open to learn loads of new things but I went into it thinking that I should have a job that holds a lot more prospects for me, when actually it seems that my original career coontains most of the things I want out of a career....
I;m definately NOT going to make any decisions right now, I'm going to finish my last two weeks AND have the summer but I think I've got to give myself a deadline to either make the jump and quit or to accept that this is where I'm going to be for the next 2 years and stop banging on about it! lol
Thanks again for all your answers though, Its always better to get opinions from people who arn't involved. Most of the people I'm around are academics and believe that you can't do well in life without a degree so all I've had is a lot of comments to say to just get my head down and whack out the next two years, which I find doesn't help as I'd like them to see it from both sides of the coin. :)
