Hello, i'm 16 years old and i'm confused on what uni course to take.
I like helping people, giving advice and making a difference in people lives. Dietician has all that but i'm not really into food. I like the idea of informing people with different type of diseases how they can deal with their situation via different foods though.
The idea of children nurse seems pretty interesting and rewarding however, i was wondering do children nurse also have to deal with poop and vomit?
What about some sort of non-nursing mental health profession (e.g. therapist), or social work? You could help people and make a difference while avoiding bodily fluids (probably--I honestly don't know much about either of these professions).
Just wanted to put out there that if many nurses were to go back and talk to their 16 year old selves, that young person would also have said that they could never handle bodily fluids. Once you get into the profession, many of those same people who swore that they just couldn't deal, actually do just fine. Nobody LIKES dealing with that stuff. But for many of us, it becomes a neutral.

If I talked to my 16 year old self, I'd probably slap her in the face.
