  2. Guys- what made you want to become a nurse?

    For me, it was a spiritual decision. I wanted to go to law school, sat for the LSAT, did well, had friends in the governor's office and other high places who wrote well of me, blah, blah, blah... Then I spent some time with my parents, and at the t...
