head out of the major cities and you will find yourself essential, not superfluous. instead you'll probably find yourself yearning for back up.
taking time off from training is not a step backwards. its a step sideways. it helps you refocus and rediscover why you got into all this in the first place.
it's the very same question i ask myself from time to time one day i will feel good and confident and rewarded about my job the next i wonder why i am even in aged care training, and wish to be...i dunno, a florist? chi's right in a way, we can take some Time Out - and come back rejuvenated. or we can change paths completely. but i think, no matter what job you do, everyone feels this way from time to time.
A florist, really? Changing paths just seems like too much trouble to have to go through all over again.. I actually had part of a conversation with our director of training here, and he asked if I still thought ED was the right thing.. I still can't think of anything else to do..which possibly still isn't the answer. When do we get to know?
Yes, but I like the comfort zone of my own place.. I'd like, for just a year, not to have to move yet again... Taking time off from training may not be a step backwards in itself..but it feels that way when people move past you.. Yes, I know I'm talking to the person who went off to have great adventures instead, but my gripe is that I've just been doing this, and still wound up behind the mark somehow.. I wonder if I would miss this if I weren't doing it...but then, I don't know what I would do.
