Am I stupid to go for nursing?

[Satori]

Ok, here's my story. I'll try to keep it brief.

I was in a car accident last year, which inspired me to get into nursing. 1-1/2 years later, I've found a program I'm getting ready to start, but I'm having trouble with my knee. I have a titanium rod in my left femur, and I haven't been able to put any weight on my left knee without pain for the past couple of days. Is it possible that the pain will stop, or am I crazy to get into nursing?

I'm going to talk to my orthopedist about this. He should be able to advise me, just wondering what the rest of you think about this...

I don't think you're crazy. I was in a similar situation. I was in a very serious car accident last year also. I have a plate and screws in my clavicle. It used to hurt quite a bit. But the pain has pretty much gone away. The femur is quite a bit bigger than the clavicle, so it's understandable that you would still be having pain.

Hang in there. I know how you feel!!
