So I recently was accepted to a LVN program program at the local college, it's a two year program for high school students I am currently a junior. what I'm asking is what's nursing like I've heard horror stories and I've heard great things, People talk about how difficult it is but anyway I have no clue what to expect, any advice.

The answer to your question depends on your personality, how sensitive you are, and whether you genuinely enjoy people.

I'm not really a people person, so I disliked bedside nursing. I entered nursing for the promise of a quick career change, the middle income, and flexible scheduling. 10+ years later I'm still here.

If you enjoy bonding with patients, calming down their families, and have a thick skin that will allow criticisms to roll off your back like a duck, you might like nursing.
