Reading some of these posts I'm realizing that the only way for me to find out if nursing is for me is to just go for it. I only have one aunt who is a nurse and I don't speak to her much so nursing had never really interested me as a career field until I found myself envious of the fact that some of my peers were making a difference in people's lives and i wasn't. selling cell phones to me isn't rewarding and I am beginning to realize I am more interested in science and healthcare than business and management.

i have 18hrs in prerequisites to take so i can finish that up pretty quickly. I actually pursued it my second year of college so I don't have as many classes to catch up on. Thanks for the avice

well i'm about to graduate with my bachelors degree in kinesiology the spring of 2010 and i am seriously considering getting a second degree in nursing. I have discovered recently that I am sooo done working in retail and that what I truly love is helping people. physical therapy has always interested me, but based on the extra sciences and lack of nearby schools- my bf is going into pharmacy and it would create a significant distance- nursing is becoming ever more attractive. Is there anyone who went into nursing as a second degree and if so how satisfied were you with the decision. I definitely want to get into the healthcare field and would like some advice on how things have worked out for you.
