So, I am 30 years old. I have been thinking about becoming a nurse for a long time but haven't done it yet. I have a first degree oversees not related to medicine and right now I work with my husband in our business but I am considering a career as nurse. My husband strongly against it. He tells me that I always will be sick with all kind of illnesses and I think he tries to protect both of us from it. We only been sick once in four years that we live together with cold that I caught from a customer. But my husband haven't been sick for over 10 years and he is very cautious to the point that he doesn't shake hands and he use napkins to open doors (that's an example how cautious he is). He also tells me that I am not gonna be happy, that all nurses are miserable.

How often do you get sick and do your spouses become ill too?

We are very intimate so whatever I will have he will get too instantly.

I don't know guys, I smell a troll...

Where did you even got this idea from? What did I write that made you think I am troll?

Am I trolling you?

Thank you everyone who replied. You insured me that it is not necessary to be constant sick when working as nurse. Some of you brought the point about my husband not supporting me and not wanting me to leave his side. And I think it is true in some way and it is something for me to work on with him.
