It's amazing to see all the insightful comments about nursing. It inspired me in many ways. To KATIE, I just want to tell u "GOOD LUCK" with your decision. I don't have much to say since I'm only a student myself in a BSN program. I didn't know much about nursing when I first began but I thought of it as a noble profession and I was very excited about being in a nursing school. But I'm afraid I can't say that now as I go in to my third semester. After learning, hearing, and experiencing the behind stories,I'm having ambivalent feelings about the career more and more. Everyday, I think about other profession I COULD BE in. We all know for a fact that there are better paying jobs for equal amount of education. But in the end, I come back to nursing as THE one because despite the hours, politics and low pay, I figured it's the best way to fulfill my dream of helping people and making a difference. I don't know if I'll be ever confident about my choice to be in this field. Like many of you, I hope I can someday confidently say that "I'll do this again in a heartbeat".
