Nursing shortage

This pictures says it all. How come we go to school for 4 years…get a UNIVERSITY degree…bachelor’s degree….and get shitty pay. What other 4 years long profession gets that kind of a treatment? And then people are surprised nurses leave their jobs and go on to do other things.

I am still though trying to figure out with myself if nursing is something for me or not. I guess I won’t really know until I have really worked as a nurse for some time.  I do really, really want to go into engineering. I have been looking into these two engineering programs at DTU in Denmark:

They sound REALLY interesting! I need something research and technology in my job but I still like stuff around the body and all that. Many people think that is exactly what I do NOT need (research and technology)…that I have to have people around me but jeez sometimes I just want to get as far as I can from all people! Sit outside in the nature….alone in the grass…down by the ocean…listen to the birds….with my dog…..ahhhh. Maybe I am just tired now when I write this?

Went to my grandmothers with my cousin and we went out for a coffee and cake! Really nice!! :) Amazing weather. We also took a drive down to the lighthouse in Akranes. Wish Klaus could have joined us. Oh I miss him but only about 8 days now!

Take care everyone!
