wis75 - agree completely......

I admit I was rather poor with words..... will add -many young people want to go into medicine and practice. They only know about being a physician.

Exploring nursing and the many options available - nurse practitoner, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist etc ... opens many eyes to see an alternative.
Perhaps this was their goal all along and just didn't know it was there.

I might add - there are also many specialties available. Some nurse practitioners specialize in pediatrics and others acute care.

The point is - the options are varied and reaching the goal - i.e. actually working in the field is much quicker with nursing.
