Did you enter nursing as a calling, a career, or a combination or both, or something else?
Most of my friends just laughed when I told them I got my place to study for my nursing diploma.
I decided to go for it as a career move following being a massage therapist and wanting to take the care aspect forward.
Now I've been on clinical placement I know I don't want to do anything else.
Just trying to decide which area I want to land a job in when I qualify.
No brit nurse does it as a career move as the money ain't good but I hear what you're saying Dplear. We need to get our hearts off our sleeves if we want to progress the pay issue.

Yup, praying one night, lightning bolt, told to be a nurse. Thought surely He had missed and meant for the woman next door to become a nurse, she was lots smarter and much more compassionate, but no it was for me. So I'm a nurse. No, definetly not passive. Yes, do know this is a carreer, a job, and am a natural leader not a follower. Talking about not being in the majority here:eek: oohh,well:roll That' s why I became a nurse.
