I am a pre-nursing student. 90% of the time I am very excited about my future career as a nurse. I do have a lot of doubts when I constantly hear stories of burn-out, the mental abuse, and the lack of respect that nurses receive. I know that some of this has to be taken w/ a grain of salt. There are people in every profession that don't feel appreciated... It just seems to be a lot more prevelant in nurses. I would like your honest opinions if you feel that the nursing is woth it. Many people say that nurses get payed so much because of what they have to go through, but I'm not sure that 50 grand a year is worth being torn down everyday for the next 40 years of my life. I guess I want to know if you had a chose between nursing and a different profession would you still do nursing? and if you would choose something else what would it be?

remember we walk in divine appointment. the valleys we enter are never accidental or the result of some mistakes. no we are led by our all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful lord.
For he it is who knows the end from the begining, the outcome of each and every pathway we tread.
no matter the twists and turns, the entanglements and obstacles along the path, we are never alone. i belive its worth it to be in this profession.... be positive about your choosen career at all time. some other nurse was abused doesnt mean you would be abused, all profession have their good and bad sides some worse than that of the nursing profession. if i had a choice i would still ramain a nurse. i never wanted to be a nurse but some how i found my self in nursing and its been worth the while.
