I also graduated in the 1980’s. I went to St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame Indiana. There were 100 pre nursing majors at the start of Freshman year and 50 accepted in the junior year. We had to maintain a high GPA and we needed to prove ourselves in anatomy lab. We did dissections and had lots of great liberal arts courses also.

Nursing requires a person to integrate science, art, psychology, sociology and intuitive spiritual presence. It’s not for most people because you need to communicate well and be good at alot of different subjects. It’s so worth it because every day you are rewarded by a sense of accomplishment and appreciation from patients.

I am a pediatric nurse and it’s also a great life with kids. Flexible hours with lots of teaching.
