Okay so except for paying I have signed up for my act's and on friday I will finish the registration and on december 13th I will be taking my acts. I know I am called to help people and I have always known it. But I have never been able to decide if I want to be an RN or a social worker. I love nursing but at the same time I have been a cna for 5 years and I am beginning to feel burnout. But I don't know if it would be the same way once I become an RN because I would have more options and I would not have to stay with the nursing homes I could do a number of different things.
If I become a social worker I could help kids who really need it and I would know what some kids are going through coming from a broken home. And I would be able to work as an advocate for the elderly as well. And possibly be able to do some work from home.
I am not sure which field would help me to be the most independant financially but that is a factor I want to know my bills are paid and to be able to possibly help more people and if at all possible to be able to adopt a child one day when the time is right.
So what I need is help to stir me in the right direction I really wish I could do both but I can't. I do live in a small community so what I do would have to be dependant on that as well. Moving isn't an option as I live on land that has been passed down in my family for over a century and I have very strong roots here.
I will say there are some aspects of nursing that I don't like but I am sure there would be some aspects of social services that I wouldn't like.
