need help deciding

hi

im considering going into psych nursing

i have a ba; pschology, several other courses, certificates

I like to work in a setting where im in charge. i like to be in control. I like alot of freedom. I like different things each day. Im more analytical. Terrible with my hands i cant build or fix anything if asked, Cept when i cook-i like to cook

I dont like having the boss look over my shoulder all day.

have no problem with needles i drew blood a couple of times. kinda liked it.

volunteered last year at a nursing home and loved it. The people and the feeling i got was everything. They made me feel so wanted and good.

Im attending mlsc now. But i hate it. When im in chemistry lab the teacher is all over me. At the end i come out im shaking and super confused.

changing now is no biggie. psch nursing is 3 years for me and mlsc is 2 more years.

Im just wondering if psych nursing is for me?

thanks Dan

    thanks

    I wasn;t saying change just variety.

    MLSC doesnt have variety.

    you do benchwork. One day you might do 200 1/2 dulutions in a shift. You might do this for 30 days.

    I don't know much about Psyche except I worked there during my clinical rotation. In my opinion your personality would be a good fit d/t the fact you like to be in charge. You have to have a strong personality or else the psyche patients will take advantage. I tend to be a push over so it definitely wouldn't work for me, however it sounds like a great career choice for you. You can work your way up to management. Go for it! You will never know until you try. Good Luck!
