I was born in New Orleans, the city of fun, so I grew up thinking everything was supposed to be fun. Expecting it made it so. My first job selling Avon to total strangers was fun. Next, flipping burgers at Burger King was fun. So when I decided to become a nurse I thought that would be the ultimate – to get to do something where I could make a real difference. I was on fire. This was my passion. And at first everything was fun. Starting an IV – Fun. Cleaning up a patient’s crap – Fun. But the excitement didn’t last long.
After six years in nursing, I faced the reality that starting IVs and cleaning up crap were NOT fun and I had to acknowledge that I was unhappy with the direction of my nursing career. Although I was working as hard as I could, I was moving no farther up the mountain of success.
I was losing touch with the fun I’d had when I first started nursing. While I didn’t suffer severe burnout like some of my colleagues, every time I visualized working as an RN until age 40, 50 or 60, I felt like I was dying a slow death. Worse yet, I thought something was wrong with me for not being more excited about what nursing had to offer.
A quick look at my colleagues told me I was not alone. These were great nurses who had loved nursing, who contributed a lot. But they weren’t having fun. Most of them were dissatisfied, and strangely, they seemed to accept this as their fate, as if there was nothing they could do about it. They settled into a life of complaining at lunch, on breaks and at every possible opportunity.
Unwilling to give in to this negative attitude, I knew it was up to me to change the direction of my nursing career. Otherwise, I could wind up on my deathbed with nothing but regrets.
I still wanted to be a nurse. I just wanted to practice nursing on my own terms. That’s why I like the way the New York Times describes my personal adventure as creating my own nursing profession – legal nurse consulting. Looking back, I guess that was my way of solving my personal challenge of wanting something more for my nursing career. Keep Reading
At least once a day I hear someone say, “When I lose that 10 pounds I’ll be happy” or “When I get one more attorney-client for my legal nurse consulting business I’ll be happy” or “I’ll be really happy when my husband finally cleans out the garage.” Seeking happiness or anything else we desire outside of where we are now, or making our happiness dependent upon some extraordinary incident occurring, pins those expectations on the future.
The problem with that mindset is we don’t live in the future we live in the now, simple ordinary times filled with simple ordinary events. Sometimes extraordinary incidents (like being the CLNC® consultant involved in a $20 million verdict) will happen, but those moments pass and their resulting happiness will pass too. It’s in this very moment that we must find our happiness, in our day to day living, such as interacting with a CLNC® subcontractor or doing the research on a case.
Life isn’t a journey to happiness; it’s a journey in happiness. Some of the career benefits of becoming a CLNC® consultant are being able to set your own hours and have more time with your family. It’s within those extra hours that you’ll find plenty of opportunities to experience the happiness you deserve: the sound of your children laughing, working really hard on a challenging case for your favorite attorney-client or simply prepping dinner.
Certainly extraordinary incidents will bring you joy, but on a daily basis you’re more likely to experience an ordinary one. Take a moment to enjoy them now. For the moment, this moment is all you’ve got.
