my brother was talking to a male nursing student in a bar and he informend the bro about how i am going to nursing school because i want to help people. i guess, the guy was pretty shocked and then paused and said: "yeah, nursing would be the profession you would want to be in to help people".
this is shocking to me. i mean, i know nursing is a high paying, stable job but how many of us really want to help people. i don't even plan on working in a hospital any longer then i need to in order to travel. as soon as i am out of school, i am going to go and live with the navajo indians and help them for free, then i want to join the christian peacemaker team for four years, then i want to work with doctors without boarders, then i want to work with habitate for huminatiy. i figure that i would travel as nurse around the states in between all those tasks to make some funds but that should be about 10-15 years of my life.
how many of you are really in this to help people???? is anyone out there intrested in doing anything radical, like working in an open door clinic for 8$$$ an hour????
