Nurses Please Help

[dewberrysquish]

Me and my mom have been going back and forth trying to figure out should I go into nursing. She and I feel it might be too hard for me and that no matter how hard I try I might not cut it. Will some nurses please tell me what nursing involves? what kind of character one is to have to be a nurse? How hard is it studying to be a nurse? What are the grades at such places like Baker that one has to have to get into the nursing program.

I feel if there is such a nursing shortage then people shouldn't make it so hard for people to become nurses. Nursing schools should be opened up again. Hospitals should train on the job again. Sometimes human beings create their own dillemias.

I guess the big question is, if you have such a dim view of nurses, then why in the world would you want to be one?
