I am graduating high school this month and I am very interested in pursing a career in nursing. I love the idea of being able to care for patients and making a difference in their lives. However, I am not sure if I could handle some of the gross things that nurses have to do. If I went into nursing my end goal would be to get my master's and be a nurse practitioner. I know if I did that then I wouldn't have to do a lot of the gross stuff because I would be higher up and be more involved in the medical aspect which I like, however I worry its less personal and I REALLY like the idea of helping others. So my questions are: -What is a day like as an RN? -What are some of the gross things you have to do, and do you get used to it? -Does anyone have any advice or input on pursuing a masters for NP? -In nursing school what are clinicals like? Thank you so much!!
