No, Pi Phi is not my job! It is my diversion from a very stressful job and my passion.
My real profession is nursing. To be specific, I am a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. It is my dream job, the best of both worlds. I get to be at the bedside (and get out those maternal instincts... there's always some baby that needs a hug) and yet I can stretch myself, continually challenge myself to learn more. Not only that, I don't have to deal with the mundane, regimented aspects of bedside staff nursing.
I knew from my sophomore year in HS that I wanted to be a nurse and by my senior year of my BSN program, I knew I did NOT want to work with adults! The best thing about nursing is that every specialty is so different that you can always find a niche. MIne is premature and sick newborns.
