OK complete honesty here...my last post went a little off the rails. It's true what they say-never write in anger. I'm not going to rehash why I was so angry but you can read why here. Anyway, I did something I said I would never do, and that's stoop to the level of ignorance displayed by others. It took some great friends and a little soul searching to remember that. So for now I've put my alter ego back into her box and I apologize if any of you were offended by the language.
So for those of you were asking, I am still hanging out at home. There was a paperwork malfunction on the school side that has now delayed me starting clinicals. I feel like I loose everything I learned the more I sit here. So while I wait and hope that this one little piece of paper comes through soon, I've been doing busy work for advanced women's health, and trying to work on my contraception knowledge for when I do actually start in the office. I've also been catching up on all the books I wanted to read but didn't have the time to read while I was taking classes.
So for now I wait. I've actually started narrowing down my list of states I am willing to move to for a job if I need to. So far Arizona is nice, New Mexico (although I don't know much about the state as a whole), Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Connecticut are all on my list. It's not that I'm opposed to staying in NC but right now the climate for midwifery doesn't seem to be a good one. It would be nice to find a great practice and gain confidence and then one day come back to this area and start a midwifery practice/birth center. It's so obvious that there is a need for midwives and a birth center in my city but it seems like a very daunting task to put it together.
Have you considered Florida?!!! This is Kelly btw:)
ReplyDeleteI have and I haven't ruled it out. I've heard some good things about Florida from other midwives.
