That is what I'm looking forward to the most, practical learning. I want to be a registered nurse so getting to talk to people who already work in those jobs can really teach me what to expect when I get out in the real world.

I learned so much about life and other human beings - then about myself.

I was a very good nurse, but I burned out after eight years or so because it wasn't what I truly wanted to do. Writing is what I belong to.

And I wasn't a journalist any more than I was a trained nurse.

I learned nothing while I was in school.

I thought I was going to school to be other people, but really, what I learned was to be myself - accepting myself, my strengths and weaknesses.

I learnt the theory of movement, which I still teach sometimes. I was very, very ambitious to learn a skill.

I didn't feel like I was meant to be a nurse or a secretary.

I am a fantastic nurse. I discovered this about myself, and I'm really fantastic about diagnosing things.
