Hey there! My name is Kayla and I've been considering nursing for awhile. I always keep going back to it in my kind when I think of my career. I'm 18 and graduated in 2016. My mother doesn't think I can be a nurse because she believes I can't handle the gross things that come with it, i.e: being puked on or pooped on. I also worry that I'll get diseases sometimes. But I really want to be a pediatric nurse. I just don't know if it's right for me. It keeps grabbing my attention and I keep going back to it. Is it really as risky as people make it seem? Because I don't want to die or bring home diseases to my future children.
