Hey
I am new here and have been reading various threads for the last couple of weeks without posting (soaking up your info).
I am graduating with a bachelors of science in health promotion and interested in going to a 2nd degree program (or atleast i was).
To tell you the truth I was extremely excited to find a BSN program, and become a nurse ASAP but after reading through this forum i am beginning to change my mind and second guess all of my future plans.
The negative things that I have been reading are:
(1) all the discrimination towards males in nursing,
(2) how burnout is very high!,
(3) how nurses have high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety,
and (4) all the threads about how people would not recommend becoming a nurse to others.
This has killed my dreams and is really making me feel bad. I hate not knowing what I want to do in life and I feel like I have no clue.
I do not know what to do with my current degree and I feel like it was a big waist!
...if you were in my shoes what would you all do?
Thanks!, gnight.
