Nursing Career Questions
I cant remeber all of your questions. I got into nursing because my wife said I would be good at it. I had military medical expierence so nursing courses were easy for me. I like the pay best. I do not like some family members and some doctors. Poop and puke are also turn offs. The work is hard but the rewards from my pts. are worth it. Plentyof demand in my area. Good luck.
