Thank you! Yes I'm old enough to understand that I might not get a job right out of college/nursing school/whatever schooling I decide to do. I understand that the economy is not in a wonderful position right now. But thank you so much for all of the feedback! :)

Thank you everyone! Yes, I'm not sure exactly what I want to do but I just know I want to go into something in the medical field. Since I'm only 17 I don't pay much attention to the economy, but I thought nursing was a job where there were always jobs available everywhere, I guess I'm wrong. That's not why I wanted to get into the field, that's just what I've heard. But ScottE is right, I won't be graduating until End of May 2012 and I won't be going to college until The fall of 2012. Kim 5/08 - Yes I plan on staying in my hometown right now. It's actually not my hometown..I've only been here for almost 3 years and I live in Georgia and I moved here from somewhere up north and I've gotten adjusted to it and I don't plan on moving back up north at least not until after college if I do happen to. But I've already taken the SAT and the college I plan on going to is in my hometown. I will be taking early childhood classes then human development to just help with being around kids. (answering to your statement about helping out with kids camps) I've also applied for a summer job at a parks and recreation kid's camp here! We had an on campus program at our school ran by the technical college here and I was going into it for a nursing certificate and it was a college level class all online and I took the entrance exam, got accepted, applied for financial aid and evertything, but they decided to take it out of our school because the success rate wasn't very well this year So I won't get to take that. I'm finishing up my year of my internship in the nurses office next year (my senior year) Thanks for everything!

Thank you! I've also looked into physical therapy school but I don't know if I want to do that yet. Nursing seems more interesting. But I'm not sure. But I'm sure I'll figure it out in time!

I've looked into CNA schools and it seems kind of what I want to do but I'm just not too sure yet, but thank you! I live in a really small town with only one hospital and I have already e-mailed the volunteer services and I have to call in the beginning of April to set up an interview to volunteer at the hospital. They only have it during the summer for high school students because they have college students during the school year. Thanks!

My names Haley and I'm very interested in nursing! I've looked at a few colleges and considered becoming a registered nurse but there's so many options in this field and I'm not quite sure exactly what I want to do yet. I know I don't have to know exactly what I want to study because I'm just about halfway done with my junior year but I'd like to at least somewhat figure out what area I want to study in so I can start deciding which college I will be attending. I love helping people and I've taken every healthcare class possible at my school and I've participated in an unpaid internship at my high school's nurses office. I have considered becoming an ER nurse as well, but I don't think I know enough about the field of nursing to make a good enough decision on what I want to do when I'm older. Any comments are appreciated.
