I‘m just curious. Do any of you have experience in health care?
Did you always want to be a nurse?
Yes I do. I work as a CNA if that counts. I have always wanted to be a Surgeon but I realized that doctors do not spend quality time with their patients and try to get to know them outside of treating their patients. Being a nurse gives you a chance to relate to your patient as well as making their health care experience as comfortable as possible instead of seeing them for a few seconds and moving on to the next patient. They are people so why not show them dignity as a human being.
@Quimara22 CNA definitely counts. Growing up, I wanted to be a Family Physician, but as I grew older nursing appeared to be a better fit. I too desired the emotional and physical connection that many nurses share with their patients. Oh, I have my CNA license as well.
