Wow! That's so many things! thanks for answering my question, you have been so much help, and I can't thank you enough. That numbered list you wrote was almost TOO long lol. once again, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to educate an inexperienced person.

That's so awesome. I'd love to travel to another country to help people.

I've heard that nurses do some pretty grotesque work sometimes, which is completely understandable because of the nature of their work. I graduated from high school a few weeks ago, and I told my friend that I want to become an LPN, then a nurse anesthetist, and finally an anesthesiologist. But he warned me about how nasty their work can get sometimes. I eventually read a series of sugar-coated, sunshine-and-rainbow articles about the duties of nurses and found nothing of what my friend mentioned. The articles made nursing seem like the most pleasant career on Earth. But luckily, I found this forum of nurses willing to give me information based on experience. Don't get me wrong, I can handle nasty stuff. I just want to know how often I will experience it, and what exactly I'll be experiencing so that when I become an LPN I'll have a heads-up. So if you will, please write a numbered list of your duties as a nurse. It doesn't matter what type of nurse you are, I just want to read stuff from people who have the job.
