Thank you all for your advice! It is nice to have such supportive words to go into the working world with! All of you are appreciated! Katie

Thank you all for your advice, support, and personal experiences. You have made my decision come with ease. Just a little snippet of my experience with addicts. My older sister was a meth addict. She did meth for more than half her life. When she finally quit using, her addiction turned to prescription medications. This addiction, unfortunately, took her life at the young age of 28. With this experience, I have a compassion for those who have addiction issues. I appreciate all of you who spend your days caring for others. You are all appreciated very much. Katie

I have put a lot of thought in to what I would like to specialize in once I graduate from school. Addiction nursing has always been an area that I would like to do. But, I have heard horror stories of nurses getting beat up and so forth. Does anyone have any experience and advice in this area for me? Thank you!!

Does anyone have any helpful tips on transitioning from a student to an RN? I know this can be challenging, especially if the only experience a person has had is during clinical rotations. Thank you!!
