If you could go back to before you started nursing would you still have chosen to be a nurse? And if not what would you have choosen to do instead?

YES!!! I've wanted to be a nurse for literally as long as I can remember, and I have absolutely no regrets.

Specializes in RN, BSN, CHDN.

No, no, no, a thousand times no. Anything but this.

Hindsight's such a lovely gift.

Specializes in NICU.

I can't imagine doing anything else.

To have a job that you love is one of the most satisfying things in life.

Specializes in Geriatrics, Cardiac, ICU.

Not an RN yet, but I know I won't regret this decision. I love nursing.

Yes, without a doubt. My only regret is that I waited until my mid 30's to go to nursing school. I wish I had gone right out of high school.

Oops, didn't mean to post this twice. uhoh3

I'm not done with school yet but from my past experiences and everything I've done up to this point, I can't imagine anything else that would fulfill me as much as nursing. I love my patients and my work (yes, especially being a CNA). The biggest complaint I have at this point is the paper work and not having the time with my patients.
