I recently decided to go into nursing, and I'm just a few weeks into the first semester of it. Right now, my plate is: Nutrition, Health Care Ethics, and A&P1. Really basic. Problem is, I'm hitting a brick wall here. I HATE the stuff. I'm starting to second guess -everything-. I don't like the memorization, and the material doesn't interest me. And yet at the same time, I love the idea of being a nurse. The idea of all the good parts of the job, but the bad parts too... drawing blood, checking on patients, even changing bedpans... gosh, even down to the pain of losing a patient... I think that's a career that I would find rewarding despite the difficulties. Challenging, but rewarding. I have a true heart for people. Am I allowed to hate the school and love the career? Is the fact that I'm dreading my classes every day normal, or a warning sign?
