Very, very safe.
Very, very comfortable.
Very, very boring.
You may find yourself trying to limit your exposure to new things after an experience like nursing school. It’s ok as it is a natural reaction. You get burned, you recoil, don’t touch the stove again.
In life you need to keep reaching out and trying new things. Why? Exposure. It lets you feel different experiences and highlights different perspectives.
Don’t go too crazy like I did, though.

Situational dynamics is what I call it when you find yourself sorting through things as you go along. We all have plans and they are interrupted. Choosing a career or a life path is probably one of the biggest plans you’ll ever have to create.
For me my career choices have always been about situational dynamics. Getting married young, having kids early forced me into dynamics where making a living were paramount and my goals took the proverbial backseat.
Don’t get wrong. I’m good at what I do and it provides for us, but I am pretty sure it isn’t what I would have chosen to do. And there is the sadness. At this point I have no idea what I would choose to do as opposed to what I have to do.
Your sitting at a point in your life where the window of your future is wide open. You can easily walk through it to where you want to be.
Thinking you chose what you wanted and failing shouldn’t preclude you from re-examining you choices and maybe making different ones.
