Hi, my name is Donna and I'm in my first semester of nursing school. I'm excited and yet at the same time, scared. This is something I've wanted to do all my life (my father's 2nd wife was a nurse). And now, here I am starting school at 30. I've done the military thing and the marriage thing, and now it's time I do my thing. I wonder what area of nursing I will really want to get into. I work as a bartender/cocktail waitress right now and it is such a high paced environment, I don't know if I can do just regular med/surg (even though I know there are days when med/surg can be high tempo too). I think I'd like critical care of some sort or maybe travel nursing...I'm single with no kids so that sounds appealing to me. Any words of wisdom, or is this going to be a decision that will have to come in time?
