Sorry but I wouldnt want a drunk high nurse taking care of me. even if it was once in a while I am working to hard to get my RN. People who are busy getting drunk and high have no business working in health care period.

Im 32 and have a year to go. :)

Nursing is the right choice if you still want it no matter what anyone else says. :)

congrats on passing boards!! Most reccommend the year of M/S. it will go by super fast im sure espcially since you described it as so busy. and doing the M/S will allow you to get a better view of other depts. good luck!!!
