6. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

   emme2004 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

   steady job and income are two reasons. The main reason is that when my daughter was 5 months old, she had to spend almost a week in the hospital for RSV. It was the most terrifing time in my life. The nurses that cared for her were so compasionate...
