WOW! I must say you are an inspiration to me. Im still a young man, senior in high school. Right now taking a computer animation course. However the begining of the year I wanted to consider nursing as a possible career. The reason is because of my mother. She herself was also a very good nurse. She passed not too long ago. I have thought about it. Being able to devote my life to what she so very much loved, would make me feel so good inside. To be able to help the sick and the wounded. Such a career to be respected for, critizisim will never stand a chance even if I am a guy. I guess for me right now, I dont know what to do? Im gonna have to take some pre req course in math and science. But I dont know where I see myself. Working in a hospital seems like it would be overwhelming I suppose?? Im not sure but your story sure gives you a good rep.

gbarrera2,

I hope you are still reading these boards. I want you to know that I am so proud of you and your awesome strength. When I was in undergrad, my parents died 11 mos apart. I didn't have the strength or support you have (no siblings or other family) and I dropped out a semester short of graduating. I spent a year in survival mode and worked in the medical field. A couple of years later met and married my husband, had children and now 17 years later, I'm am getting ready to graduate from nursing school. This journey has built my faith, and I encourage you to hold on to yours. Even through these difficult times, Jesus continues to carry you and is molding you to be the fabulous nurse that he has designed you to be. Your unique experiences with your parents and their caregivers will give you an edge in patient care and an empathy that many others cannot bring to the table because they do not/cannot have the same perception of the importance of great "holistic" care. May God bless you and your family in all of your endeavors!

One more thing....I was reading an article on asparagus. It claimed that 4 TBS of pureed asparagus twice a day will reduce cancer cells. How true this is..I don't know but it is worth trying.
