Need a little bit of help

[LisaMay127]

I am having trouble deciding on becoming a nurse (oncology or surgeon) and a dental hygienist. I am taking pre reqs for both and am starting to run out of them so I really need to figure this out. :uhoh21: Here is a little about myself:

1. I love helping people.

2. I do not like anything repetitive.

3. VERY family orientanted.

4. Would like to make more than $50,000 a year.

5. What to change the world.

6. Would like to have a big family.

7. My parents both have back problems (hunched over all day?)

8. School does not matter.

9. Would like to have fun but also serious at my job.

10. I love kids. (will be oncology for kids//dental for kids)

I seen this website and thought why not ask nurses? If you have any idea on helping me please do! My family and boyfriend of 3 years are not a big help at all. But I love them anyway :heartbeat.

Please give me input what do you think dental or nurse? and if you are in oncology or surgeon please give me pros and cons!

I would definatly go with nursing... it sounds to me like you would make a wonderful nurse... think of a little kid sick and does not feel well... you seem to be the type that would make him or her smile and laugh even though they do not feel well... how many kids will you make smile and laugh as a dentist?? not as many i wouldnt think... I had a hard time deciding what i wanted to do... and I never ever imagined I would ever want to be a nurse.. but I do I love all my classes it is incredibly interesting to me... that is another question to ask yourself what grabs you what has your attention whats your passion? Do you want to help sick children get better or do you want to help children have a beautiful smile??? (both are wonderful)
