Everyone, thank you so much for your input. Lovely_RN, that was exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Very helpful and informative post. I've been continuing with my research and think I am going to head in the direction of SLP. Thanks again

Yeah, it's too bad that website doesn't exist. I only posted on here because I saw a lot of other posts and people with experience as an SLP did reply and have some input to give. Thanks though. mom-n-student, thank you. your post was very helpful!

Yes, I know. I am just curious more or less if people enjoy careers as speech and language pathologists. The only way I realized that maybe nursing wasn't for me was through hearing other peoples stories about working in the field. So I was hoping that maybe I could hear from a few SLP's and see what they have to say as well. Thank you.

SLP: speech and language pathologist

Hello everyone, I am currently in my freshman year of college. I went away to school with the intentions of per suing a BSN. I was already accepted into my schools program and I am currently taking my first nursing class. The class is more of an introduction to nursing so we have a lot of presenters. Every time someone gets up in front of the room and talks about what its like for them to be a nurse, I find myself second guessing my decision. I am not sure if it is really the right career for me. I know most people are going to tell me to do whats best for me, and essentially I am going to, I am just looking for some outside opinions. I have done a decent amount of research on the two careers and have even read some of the other posts on this website. Which in the end is what drove me to post this. If anyone has experience working as an SLP or RN, please give me some input. Any information of job availability or round about salaries would be great. I live on Long Island, NY if that helps. Thanks in advance! :)
