Wow thanks alot, that was very insightful. i can't tell you how much these posts has encouraged me. i feel alot better about going into nursing. if it doesnt work out for me later its ok cause i can always move onto the next thing. thanks again for all your help!

Ok, im 21 years old and ever since ive graduated high school i havent had a clue as to what i want to do with my life. I've looked into everything and nothing seems to catch my interest except nursing. But the thing is i dont really know why. I know i want to help people and that i dont want to be stuck in an office all day behind a computer. i want job stability and a good pay check. nursing is a rewarding career and i want to do something that i can take pride in. Im scared because I dont know if my heart is completly in it but its the only thing im interested in doing. I want to be a registered nurse and i understand how hard the schooling is, i have some friends that are just now getting done with it so ive heard some horror stories. but i feel like i could get through it if i really put my mind to it. Did anyone feel this way before they got into nursing? i do want to help people but mostly i want the money and the benefits. i grew up not having alot of money and i only have one chance to make something of myself. do you think if i get into nursing that im gonna hate it? Im not freaked out by blood or cleaning up poop I just need to know if its ok to look at nursing as just a job? alot of people seem to go into it as if it was there dream since they were a little kid so i just want to know if anyone was unsure of becoming a nurse before they actually became one. Please help and thankyou to anyone that responds! God Bless!
