    Should I do nursing or follow my dreams?

    aleong29 replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you should become a nurse. As someone previously stated before me, you're trying to find reasons to convince yourself to go into nursing. It's an area that you really need to be...
