I remember teaching a class to post-mastectomy women re: options for breast reconstruction. Afterwards, there was always some well-meaning well-educated woman who would ask me why didn't I go into medicine. I tried to make them see that an MD wouldn't be doing the things I was doing. Never sure if I made my point...
For the past ten years, I've been doing school nursing. It's not all bandaids and tummy aches. At my school, we've recently admitted a child who requires mechanical ventilation via a tracheostomy. My MSN in Acute Care from Columbia is coming in handy!
PS The Columbia program is stronger than ever, Bethie. I believe they just graduated their 2nd or 3rd class of DNSc - Doctor of Nursing Science- only program of its kind in the country. Wonderful opportunities in that school and fantastic scholarships as well! (Believe me, I get the info - and the requests - ALL the time. (Although I will admit, Penn is rated #1.)
