I'm done doing my summer jobs so I have plenty of time to start blogging again. Hopefully... bare with me ^^. I think what I want to do with my blog next is do blogposts about everything I did this Summer. Looking back seems pretty fun. So look forward to all the throwback blogposts. Let's catch up on my summer in general.
Next, my experience working this Summer.
My summerjobs are done as I already mentioned. In August I worked at a psychiatric institute as a nurse and I loved it. I really see myself do that for at least a whole lotta years. In September I worked with people with young dementia which was mentally pretty hard. I didn't love it as much as I hoped as I've had great experiences in working with dementia before. It just feels so different knowing that these people are so young and have to deal with this horrible illness. Also it's a job that's physically hard too which I'm not used to anymore after a month in a psychiatric setting. I realize now after my many interns and summerjobs what I'd like to do as a permanent job which made doing a job that I enjoyed less even more difficult.

| Working buddies <3 Litteraly the only workrelated picture I could find on my phone. |
As you may know I've graduated my A2 level nursing school this June so I'm qualified to start working as a nurse. However I don't feel ready yet. I've always felt when I was interning or working that my knowledge was limited, too limited to have such responsibilities. I know that you learn most whilst working but it didn't sit well with me that I'd still need to learn so much. So I've decided to start my bachelor degree in nursing. It's a follow-up degree which means I don't need to do the full shebangs for 4 years and do it in 2 years with only 1 day of school a week. Most people decide to combine that with working but I've decided against that.
Why you'd might ask?
I've talked this decision through with many people. People whocombined it with working and quit because it was too much, with my parents who thought I should solely focus on my degree, with colleagues who said you still live at home, you don't have a household, take it easy on yourself and wait with the working thing, and last but not least colleagues who worked part time at schools to help students that have to intern and even they said how hard working students have to work and plan to get everything done and I just didn't see myself being capable of combining work and study. I used to be so tired after interning that I couldn't come 'round to studying when I got home and now that I'm amping up the difficulty level of my degree I just wouldn't get by with barely studying and I'd probably fail. So that's why I'm only going to school 1 day a week and get to have way more down time that I plan to enjoy to the fullest (next to studying of course). I'm looking forward to two more mellow years before I start working full time, yes!
Next time you'll see me will be with a throwback post
I look forward to seeing you there!
Goodbyeeee
