Hey ladies and gents, I'm new to this forum so HI :) ok so my problem is I am a Health Care Aide but I want to become an ER nurse but I'm so scared to take that step... I am tired of doing homecare but don't really have much choice. So, what would you do? Would you jump right in or take your time. Also, if I start school in September I have to do 2 years of upgrading, then 4 years of nursing, then an extra year for ER training so I will be 31 when I'm done and that scares me even more... I see all these nurses in there 20's and when I become a nurse I won't be... So ya what would you do? Thanks Mandy :)
