I come from a non-nursing background and was recently admitted to a great entry-level MSN program with the plan to start this fall. The only problem is that I am having second thoughts about nursing as a career. I am a pretty indecisive person in general and I feel like every week I come to a new conclusion regarding nursing. One week I'm proud that I was accepted into my top school of choice with a GREAT MSN program, and the next week I want to withdraw my registration and do something else. I have always dreamed of nursing but I didn't really think I could become one. I don't know if that is due to self-doubt, or actually not wanted to do nursing in general. I've also always thought about law school. At the beginning of last year I had an epiphany and decided that I NEEDED to go back to school. I've been out of school for about 5 years and have been working in a non-clinical role at a hospital ever since. I began to think about going back to school and I was between law and nursing. Some people told me to do nursing, some people told me to do law school, in the end, I was confident that I wanted to do nursing school. I completed all of my pre-reqs, I took classes over the Summer & fall while continuing to work full time and I was able to apply to two programs at the end of the year. I was recently accepted into my #1 choice and accepted the offer, but now I am second-guessing myself and the career in general. I've been doing some research and I've been reading things about nursing that have thrown me off. COVID hasn't really helped the situation either, reading about burn-out, feeling unappreciated and being thrown in the front lines doesn't sit well with me. I also read up on the cases of the nurses who were criminally charged for something they did at work and the whole hospital environment is just off-putting to me. Sorry for this really long post, I just want to add as much information as I can. I've been trying to research what kind of nursing career I would like to have, and I can't find anything that stands out to me. My boyfriend is currently in law school and his sister is a lawyer. The admiration due to the prestige that they get when people find out that they are doing law is astonishing. I need help!
