Aren't all knees made out of chocolate?....Amber

I realized yesterday that I really enjoy nursing. I spent like half an hour in the lab with one of my instructors practising how to work a safety pin only using tweezers and foreceps (for a sterile dressing change) and I was so entertained! Haha! I guess you know you enjoy something the more geekier you get...
But as I've been getting deeper and deeper into this whole nursing thing I keep asking myself whether nursing is something you do or something you become. Eventually I WILL BE a nurse. Or what is the balance with that? But as I was thinking about this...if my identity is in nursing (which is really what i"m asking) then what I'm worth depends on whether or not I pass my Restoration exam on Monday. But it's so hard to keep what you do from creeping into the genetic make-up of who you are. But that nursing is just a tool that God wants me to have, in order for Him to accomplish whatever He wants to accomplish here on this earth. And that this isn't who I am. So if it's not about me "being" a nurse but instead about God working out things in His Kingdom here on earth, then school looks a lot different. It's actually quite a spiritual experience! Hhaha...which seems like a werid conclusion to come to.
