The end of a career

Yesterday was my last day of work. Not because I'm starting maternity leave this early, but because I was only there for 6mths as intergration into the danish health system. This was a compulsory requirement for attaining my Danish nursing registration. However those that were to assess me decided that my danish was not quite good enough (though I think they were being a bit picky) so I actually don't have my registration. If I wasn't pregnant I could have done another 3-6mths in another ward & be reassessed again. However there is not enough time for that between now & when I would have to go on maternity leave. Seeing as I have made the decision to be a stay at home mum, this means I will most likely never get my registration. While I love nursing, I have always said it was only something until I became a mum. This has always been my ultimate "career goal". So I'm looking forward to having more time & hopefully energy to prepare things for the baby & get some rest.
