This entire site is about nursing. To find out certain views of nursing, all you have to do is to take the time to explore and read threads and posts on the site. Better yet, if you want to find out about nursing, interview nurses in your area and have them take the time for a frank talk with your relatives. And remember, in the end, it would be you entering the field of nursing, not your relatives. They can't live your life for you. Best wishes.

Do your relatives have experience in nursing/have been a nurse? If not take their input worth a grain of salt & research the field for yourself.

No matter where you work, unless you have no contact with anyone where you are working, you are going to encounter good & bad people. Whatever your profession, doctor, nurse, waiter, secretary, cashier, etc., there will ALWAYS be difficult people you'll encounter, but there also will always be good people you will encounter too.

Good luck.

For what it's worth, we can afford for me to stay at home with our five kids -- I continue to work because I love being a nurse.

Every single profession has positives and negatives.

My nursing negatives: 1)You can encounter jerks -- so does every other person on the planet 2) Not everyone likes working nights, and very few like working holidays 3) it's physical work, 4) it can be emotionally exhausting 5) Administration can have unrealistic expectations... again not unique to nursing -- ask teachers 6) potential exposure to biohazards

Positves: 1) personal fulfillment from helping people 2) good pay for a relatively small educational commitment (I'm nor sure where you are...seems like English is a second language?) But in the US anyway, you can qualify for the RN exam upon completion of a 2-3 year program, depending on how many general ed/prerequisite classes. By contrast, many teachers and social workers have Master's degrees, and their pay is quite low 3) job security 4) with 12-hour shifts, a nurse can work full time in 3 days per week. 5) There is a huge variety! Even within a hospital a nurse can transfer to different units, work in procedural areas, work non-bedside roles such as nursing development education. Outside of the hospital a nurse can work in long term care, public health, make home visits, become a school nurse and have weekends/holidays/and summers! off... Nurses can continue their education to become NPs or instructors. 6) Part time work is usually a possibility, if you don't need to work full time. Many corporate type jobs require full time or even overtime hours. (My husband used to be an auditor for one of the US's "Big Four." There were weeks he worked 90 hours!! He came home only to grab a few hours of sleep and get a shower.)
