Hello, everyone!:) I'd like to pursue a BSN after I finish high school. The security of nursing especially appeals to me, as I know that nursing is an in-demand profession. I am not concerned about "getting" a job, but I am worried about "keeping" a job. Coming from a family of nurses, I've heard nightmares about being fired/sued/losing one's license due to minor issues. Are these situations common? Have you ever experienced a similar problem? Thanks for the input! ~petitefleur

Hello, everyone!:) I'm considering pursuing a BSN after I finish high school. I've always wanted a career in which I'd be helping others, and health care seems to be a great fit. Above every other profession I've googled, nursing promises the most flexibility, stability, and satisfaction. However, my mom, an RN BSN, says the stress of nursing far outweighs its benefits. Do you find this to be true? Do you regret going into nursing? Which areas of nursing- if any- are least stressful? Which are most stressful? Any advice is greatly appreciated! ~petitefleur
