I'm an "older" student working on my prereq's before actually taking the plunge into nursing school... I've read through so many of these posts and the overall theme here is that a lot of new nurses seem to be unhappy in their chosen profession and generally disillusioned with the nursing field - which, in all honesty, is making me very nervous about proceeding with the career that I've had my heart set on for so many years. My question is this....if you were to go back in time, would you choose nursing again? If not, what career would you choose? I'm very curious to hear everyone's what-if's.....:redpinkhe
