After reading negative thread, want to give up nursing dream!

Nurses General Nursing

Published

After reading post after post after POST about how so many of you would not recommend nursing to your kids, I'm about to give up. I decided to go back to nursing school after having my two kids, because nursing is something I feel that I was made to do. I have experienced a MAJOR reality check from reading so many threads about nursing being so horrible. I have tried very hard to stay positive and keep moving forward in school to reach my goal. I don't know what to do now. SO much wasted time and money to find out that, chances are, I will end up hating whatever nursing job I get. I never in my life thought that an occupation could bring this much unhappiness for so many people. I am so VERY upset about this. I had thought about going the RT route and then sonography, but chose nursing because I felt that it was in my blood to become a nurse. Maybe sonographers are a little happier-but I'll never get my hopes up again about anything.

:madface:

i started reading this forum when i decided to take nursing as a second career. the reason i decide for nursing is i just can not sit in cubicle and live corporate life. i enjoy being in touch with people, talking with them and helping them. and of course job variety. then few questions came in this forum which made me think again and finally this question and now i am more than sure that i am starting my nursing careee with taking lpn classes as soon as i can...

wow..i am enjoying this forum a lot...lot's of information

thanks for asking this question

If you REALLY want to have children, you won't be put off by all the horror stories about birth & motherhood you've heard or all the little monsters you've ever run across. Anyone who's EVER been a parent has complained about it at one time or another, but still, we continue to have 2nd, 3rd or even more children! That's because, on our worst days, we still wouldn't have made any other choice.

Nursing is pretty much the same way. If you REALLY want to do it, you won't be put off by other people's horror stories, you'll do what's right for YOU. Some people aren't meant to be nurses, just like some people aren't meant to be parents. There's just no one size fits all in life. Listen to your heart. Good Luck!
