View on Nursing as Career Choice

@Nrdsb4 … Yes!

I still sometimes have a nightmare where I wake up in a sweat in that hazy “was it a dream or was it real state” because I had dreamed it was the end of the shift and I realized I had been assigned bed 7 which was at the end of the hall and in a corner… And I had not been in there all day!

For the OP: nursing has been very very good to me. I wholeheartedly recommend for any young person who likes to think on their feet and is in love with human anatomy and physiology and the complexities of how it all mixed in together. But make sure you are not wearing rose colored shades… It is a very real and demanding career. I’ve always thought it paid pretty well and as the secondary income provider in our home it has allowed me to be at home more with our family. Alternatively, when H (engineer) was laid off I was able to add a part-time role overnight and we were able to push through the layoff without a huge impact.
