Thank you sooo much everybody. I appreciate the advice! I think I will look into volunteering.

Here's hoping this is being posted in the right area.... First things first, I'm new, so "Hi" to everyone out there... Now then, I will be a freshman this fall and am in pre-nursing. Right now I am just crying my eyes out because I don't know what to expect. Are all areas of nursing as stressful as I've heard? I don't expect it to be easy sure, but I am a nervous wreck. I'm not the type of person who can "wing it" and hope for the best. I have to choose my career and NOW. Do you have time for kids? I want a family one day, so I don't want to be working all of the time. I feel like I've researched this a thousand times and still don't know anything about the job, you know what I mean? I'm worried a little about the schooling too, is it survivable, lol. Can you actually sleep, or are you up all of the time studying? Well, I guess I'm done, the crying has stopped but my anxiety hasn't. Any advice would be appreciated or maybe just a hug Thanks again... *Colleen*
