Don't know if nursing is right for me.

Published

Hello,

I would like to get some recommendation from all the nurses and potential nurse. I am interested in nursing because of the job stability, flexible hours of working, good paid, and I love babies. I did some research and know that it is really emotional draining. I would like to know the process of nursing school. After you get entered into nursing school you will be studying nurse courses and also hands on practical in hospital right? As for interning in hospital do you get to pick your field, I would like to be in the newborn area. I don't know can I handle all the blood, intestines, broking legs or head...etc. I don't know can I deal with all of these in the ER. I know there are so much potential in the nurse field, I could be in research or bedside later on but what I am worry is the process of becoming a nurse.

Some of my family member also suggested sonographers (ultrasound technologist) but I just don't really like all the repetitive work. I feel that nursing is more challenging and more good for my future when I am bore of one area (eg. newborn ) I could go to a different area. I am going to be 30 and with all the waiting list for nursing school and the prereq. I think I will finish in 5 years. My family also said that I am a quite depress easy person so nursing is not good for me. Any one that have experience please HELP...

THANKS

Thank you all for all your suggestion. I will try to get a volunteer job at a hospital to see if I could handle it. I feel that if I put my heart into nursing I could handle it but I do agree that I will need supports from my family.

I really hope I could handle it. I will start to sent out application after fall 2010 with all my prerequisite done.
