contemplatingRN

Hello everyone, This is my first time on this website. I am 26 years old and have a BA in Spanish. I have worked in advertising and the nonprofit sector for a few years. I have been searching for my "calling". I know a few things: -I don't want a desk job -I want to help people -I want job security -I want to be financially stable -I like working with people I was all set to apply to Occupational Therapy school, but Nursing keeps popping up in my head. Honestly, I know that there are more opportunities in Nursing and better pay, but I wonder if I would like it. Rather, I wonder if I can handle the stress. Can anyone out there shed some light on what would make a good nurse? What are the best things about being a nurse? What are the worst things? If you had to do it all over, would you still be a nurse? If not, why? I appreciate your help and value what you do! Thanks!
