That is an interesting question. I think presenting your audience with the truth is paramount. The amount of time, money and effort required to obtain a nursing degree is nothing to take lightly. Although, I do not believe nursing is all consuming; I believe that everyone has to find the right balance of work, recreation and family time. In many cases, a new nurse will try many different specialities prior to finding a niche in the profession. Every work environment has its own set of problems; the trick is finding the set of problems you deal with best. I believe that the career of a nurse is made up of a lot of little wins and some epic fails. Our future students should be informed in regards to good and the not so good aspects of our profession. Knowledge of what can and will be encountered is the only way to enable them to make an informed decision. I wish you the best in your presentation.
