Good morning everyone!
I have had my doubts about nursing for a while. My grandmother was a nurse for 30 years and has also prodded my brain for other ideas for my future. I've actually come up with something that I would love to do: forensic science. I am a biology nerd and do well in any science based class. I would particularly love to do DNA analysis. Perhaps if my grades stand up to med-school standards and may apply by the time I'm done. If that were the case I would like to do a residency/fellowship in forensic pathology and become a medical examiner. (That's way out in the long shot). For those who have any idea about the Myers Briggs Assessment, which I suggest anyone who needs to learn about themselves takes, I am an INTJ.
Now my real question here is this: if you could do it all over again would you do something else? I'm 19 and time is not of my concern. I originally chose nursing because of the science aspect but I have come to realize on this forum that many of you do not feel like you are using your intellect as much as you would like.
I appreciate any advice and any personal advice on what you would have or what you wouldn't have done differently.
Thank you!
