Hi there, I'm a junior in high school, interested in becoming a nurse. I want to do it because it just seems like a rewarding career- something you can be proud of, knowing that you help people on a daily basis. I know for the most part it's not glamouous or pretty, but It still sounds good to me. The problem is, I'm constantly hearing all these horror stories about how bad nurses are treated, how stressful it is, and basically just that it's a horrible career. Is it that bad? most of the nurses I know love their jobs, but then I hear all these bad things... so, nurses, if you had the chance to re-do it all, would you? or is it worth it to be a nurse? If I don't go into nursing I'd like to get into pediatric Occupational therapy or maybe music therapy. Thanks, K
