Can anyone offer any words of encouragement to someone who has been fixed upon a career of Nursing every since they discovered it. I got interested in the profession about 5 months ago, and everything seemed so perfect... I wanted to do it for humanitarian reasons...Then everything seemed to fit into place.. A couple months later the news was SCREAMING nursing shortage, nurses were describing there specialties on tv & it seemed like fate was telling me to go for it... Until I found this site. :u
