Wasting my time? I'm doing quite the opposite, actually. -Getting my BSN in 3 years over a biology degree that will take 5 -Minoring in Advanced Chem/Physics WHILE I'm a nursing major so by the time I graduate with my BSN I will have all pre-requisites for med-school completed -Taking a $2400 MCAT preparation course that is highly used by pre-med students -I will work as a nurse while I'm in med-school whether it's per diem or part-time and if I can handle full-time then so be it - my time will not be wasted -I will always have my nursing license and a job if needed My path is my own path, worry about your own

Thank you all

Yes, I've been learning that But I'll have to check that out! Thank you :)

I guess I just don't feel supported for wanting to be a nurse and it's a little upsetting to me when people think that nurses just wipe asses when that's far from the truth. They do far much more. I know I don't need her validation and I know that the only person who controls me is... me. It just made me a bit upset Thank you very much

And if she is the kind of person who wants to get into the medical field, shouldn't that person have at least a bit of compassion to help the people who can't help themselves?

I'm not bringing it up to just bring it up. I could simply just be talking about my day and my point is that the whole conversation is just adverted to how she could never wipe someone's ass or ever will do that or will ever do what nurses do.

Every time I have a conversation with my best friend or her family about any nursing aspect or my job as a nursing assistant in med-surg (we obviously all know what my job duties are) all she ever has to say is that she "can never be a nurse" and for reasons like having to deal with other people's bodily fluids and not wanting to wipe someone's ass and that she will never do it. I don't know how to feel about this. It seems to me that she thinks all nurses do is wipe asses (l o l). I'm going to nursing school but once I work for a year or two as a nurse I do plan on applying to medical school for MY own personal reasons. However, it just bothers me that she thinks this way. I understand some people aren't apt to bodily fluids and really can't handle it but I just feel like anytime I talk about the profession that's all she has to say and it really upsets me. She wants to go to PA school but wouldn't she have to at least experience direct patient care?
