Thank you so much! This seriously made my day!

Thank you all for your help! I appreciate it.I keep getting told to pick a major I think that I'll fall in love with.My main goal on this website is to find out why people picked nursing and to better gain knowledge from those with experience rather than the same generic advice that I seem to be getting from numerous college reps.

I've been told that its better to get a RN degree from a university because it opens up more opportunities to become a nurse practioner later on.I want to specialize in either pediactrics or onocology.

I will be in nursing school within the next couple of years.I didnt know most people were married.As of right now I am in a serious relationship of the high school variety.I graduate next month. We're going to attempt to do the long distance thing.

I know theres nothing wrong with it.I just feel like a failure for having to go.My boyfriend got into a good school as did my best friend.Im intelligent however Im not good at testing so Im entering in with the lower level transfer students while still trying to keep a sunny disposition.

My story-I came from a really unstable home.I had all of the "potential".But,never any of the motivation at home.Its a miracle Im even graduating.Im not graduating with honors.Im graduating with a 2.0 gpa.Disapointing any teacher thats ever felt the glimmer of home that Im the next mother teresa.I've been through a lot.I've gone to four high schools in four years.My mom has dragged me through her unstability.Im at this point in my life where I wanted to choose a career to help and make others lives a little easier.Mine has been far from easy.The only thing I have been able to miraculously maintain is the fact that Im not pregnant or a drug addict.My entire family has succombed to drugs and/or mental issues sadly.Im determined not to become like them.Even if it means going to community first to get a little bit of extra help beforehand.

Hello Im Melanie.Im about to start community college so I can transfer to a university soon.Nursing is one of my propsed majors yet Im not sure.I havent really gotten the chance to directly talk to anyone in the field.I want to do pediatrics and was wondering any of you guys could tell me what made you major in nursing and what road you took and what the job consists of.It would be of great help.Im only 18.
