Journalism?

May be a possibility. I've been seriously contemplating it as a minor. In high school, whenever I wrote a research paper or speech, I was always complimented on how well I would write. How thorough it was, etc..
I just have this strong drive to write, to research, to expose the truth. It's almost up there with the stronger drive I have to become a nurse. Maybe I'm destined to become a writer for a health magazine someday. That would be interesting. I would looove to write about the different aspects of health care.
I mean, I don't want to just stop at nursing. I want to do more with my life. Maybe I'll even double major in Nursing and Journalism. Maybe I'll go to Europe and use my nursing skills there. Maybe I'll even retire from nursing and be a science journalist for the Tulsa World.
The thought of just working a day job after college frightens me....
What happens then? Work until I become bored with nursing? Or will I become the charge nurse of the neonatal unit? Like I've always wanted? But even then...what happens??? I constantly want to be doing bigger and better things with my life. I don't just wanna stop. There's a whole world out there and I want to conquer it!
