I wrote the other day about a possible career change to insurance. Been many years since I had to make such a change in direction. I've been rather passive, forgetting that these changes have required effort on my part in the past. Can't sit here and wait for something to fall into my lap. Nothing has ever worked that way for me.
Judging from my past, it will take a period of uncertainty, gaining my feet (which I do much easier at this point in my life) and intense study before it really takes off.
My biggest concern right this minute is my appearance. My dental problems are the biggest thing. I really think it would be best if I started out in the back office, learning the processes and procedures for a while. Save enough money and get dentures. Then get involved in more direct customer contact. The knowledge would be beneficial in the long run.
I still want to build up the woodshop and get things going in that direction, also.
No matter what, it's definitely time to move away from nursing. The thought of going back to inpatient clinical care almost gives me panic attacks at this point. Not something I am prone to. Been through over 300 code blues and never freaked out or locked up. Been on the wrong end of a fun four times, always remained functioning. Was on alert in Germany when the Wall came down. Stayed calm. Once again, it's not the patient care that makes me anxious but the backstabbing.
However, it seems I have become more prone to various medical issues, myself in the past few years. It may be in my own best interest to avoid placing myself at risk.
So, going to update my resume and write a new cover letter today. Get those out this evening.
