It was kind of offending and discriminating in my opinion,seemed like you were trying to assume that people have kids can not enjoy their youth and have to give up everything for the family.

I swear by this book http://www.amazon.com/Bronze-Horseman-Paullina-Simons/dp/0061031127, if you decide to read it it also has second and third part,I dont know anyone who didnt like this book.

I'm a little bit older than and I think that what your going through now is fascination period with the book that you read,been there done there,and many times I have been inspired by events book etc (my latest is the idea of getting married in an old church in Russia after reading this one russian masterpiece) but anyway what I'm trying to tell that I would not give my my long-time dream especially if I felt that I was born to do it.As a doctor you will have so many more oppportunities and you can get your own little plane or take flying lessons.Once you start taking other classes it will be hard for you to go back medical school since it takes years to become a doctor and you should try to pursue medicine field as soon as possibly,ideally right out of HS

Actually quiet contrary.My very smart phd micro professor told me not to wear scrubs outside work.I think he knows what he is talking about given his credentials.

If you dislike your job so much you can always go back to doing something else...I'm tired of people using the same old example of McDonalds,it is like people who come from different countries complaining how US sucks,this is not a jail just like nursing isnt so you are free to get out...

Just wondering?

Are you kidding? I'm sorry but you cant get brain stimulation from working at mcdonalds.

each to his own,however due to the high stress level,crazy patient acuity,physical demands,disrespect,no-so great pay,other risks it is hard for me to imagine why on earth someone with complete lack of interest,no people skils choose nursing profession,seriously. i think it would be better to sit behind the desk sipping on coffee and flipping the pgs of victoria secret catalog.

The reason why will never unite in nursing is that different personalities go into nursing and certainly not all of them are what we could define as "compassionate,nurturing",hence it would be impossible to satisfy everyones needs. Nursing schools demand decent gpas,I'm suprised no one yet come up with certain personality criteria for nursing although I understand that it is maybe impossible to measure personal traits,but I think that emotional intelligence tests should be made just for nursing schools itself.

I know people in my class who dont like to take care of "difficult" patients.I always think to myself "well quess what honey then you should have had choosen other medical field.

How about a smart and kind hearted nurse,they do exist.I would choose none of them,I want both of these qulities.

no I change at the hospital.

I'm graduating next week and keep in mind that nursing school prepares you very little for real life nursing,take advantage of your lab room (you wont be able to try all the skills in the hospital settings),and learn on your own,the instructrors only touch up on general ideas you have to push yourself to find out more and lastly start doing nclex questions from the get go.

only nuns have the so called calling because they work for free.with that said i believe that people who pick a job to only provide means for themselves will end up miserable bored,unsatisfied,indifferent to their career.

And one last word (sorry but could not help myself...) Why cant he be supportive for a year or two?Make sacrifices for only transient time,we women cook and clean and raise our children our whole lives but when a man is put into the position to help out,everyone makes a huge deal out of it,compromise is the best solution to conflicts in marriages,not surrounding to the other halves wishes,desires,plans and no I'm not a radical feminists.
