9. Nurses Please Help

   dewberrysquish replied to dewberrysquish's topic in Michigan

    I would love to be a nurse but I feel I couldn't cut it. I hear hard it is even for people with the best grades. I've never been the smartest so I probably would never get into nursing. What is another high paying job? I was checking out Diagnostic M...
