Junior In High School interested in the field of nursing

[hcm1217]

My names Haley and I'm very interested in nursing! I've looked at a few colleges and considered becoming a registered nurse but there's so many options in this field and I'm not quite sure exactly what I want to do yet. I know I don't have to know exactly what I want to study because I'm just about halfway done with my junior year but I'd like to at least somewhat figure out what area I want to study in so I can start deciding which college I will be attending. I love helping people and I've taken every healthcare class possible at my school and I've participated in an unpaid internship at my high school's nurses office. I have considered becoming an ER nurse as well, but I don't think I know enough about the field of nursing to make a good enough decision on what I want to do when I'm older. Any comments are appreciated.

Just wanted to wish you lots of luck! It took me almost a year to find a job but I still don't regret my decision to be a nurse. There are days you don't have time for lunch or to go to the bathroom but I still love it. When my patients tell me how much they will miss me when I am off for a couple of days it kind of makes you forget about everything else you have to deal with. I wish I would have thought about being a nurse when I was your age! It never even crossed my mind (well, actually it did but I didn't think I would like it). There are many different areas and opportunities for nuses. If you don't like where you are working you can always look for something else. Wishing you the best!
