I have to say if it is your dream go for it, I am in school right now and keep hearing about how nursing goes through waves of shortages and excess all the time. I am sure with the baby boomers getting older there will be jobs, and as a nurse you can do almost anything. The nursing program is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and it is difficult to get through, but it is well worth it. The fact is there will always be jobs for nurses you can go any where and do just about anything.
