I am truly thinking about travel nursing. A coworker of mine is waiting until she's been in the NICU for a year (in August) so that she can go travel and I am really thinking/planning to go with her. There are so many details to be worked out, but, I am young, I should do this. It scares me. Traveling to new places, working in new hospitals where I don't know the doctors, RTs and fellow nurses. But if we go together, maybe it won't be so scary. I am also concerned, as I always am, about how it'd affect my chances of finding a husband. But, I can't live my life waiting for that to happen. God will take care of that, I'll take care of babies and experience cities all over the country.
To start with, I'd really like to travel to my old hospital. It'd make for an easier transition into the whole travel thing, without being scared/worried/anxious about a "new" hospital. Although I am sure much has changed in the two years since I've worked there, I know there are a ton of familiar faces to make it less scary.
I will keep this idea in my prayers and see where God wants me to go. I already know I am using the skills He gave me, and I know my purpose in this life is my nursing career with my babies, but besides that, I am waiting for Him to take the lead.
In the meantime, I don't want to stop working towards my BSN so I am going to start looking at completely online RN to BSN programs so I can continue my education regardless of my location. If this all goes through, I'll actually be able to use this blog as I originally intended it to be used for.... Traveling Ashley. :)

I love this idea!! I think that is exactly what we should be doing while we're still young and not tied down. And you're right - God will take care of your boy situation. Who knows - maybe you'll meet him on the road!! :)
