I've known that I would have to go to a higher degree after the bachelors in psych since I started, I just can not keep going to school and working hard knowing that once I receive my degree, I will still have to jump through more hoops and struggle to even get into graduate school and have no job. But besides that, I just have a gut feeling that nursing is what I want to do. I've always had the desire to help people, I'm not necessarily a "people person", just because I'm pretty shy, but regardless, I find joy in making a difference in someone else's day. And I enjoy working in fast-paced, stressful environments and taking control of situations. I feel better already knowing that I have decided on a set plan for the future and how many opportunities there are in this field. Guess all I need now is my hardest work and dedication! Thank you for your post!

I am a third year student majoring in psychology and am really considering changing my major to nursing. My grandma that has been nursing for 25 years is telling me it is the worst thing I could possibly do because of what health care has become over the past 10 years. I've always had an interest in the medical field and helping people, but always thought nursing was sort of out of my reach, though I am very smart. And I am ready to commit myself to learning. Need help deciding whether or not nursing is a rewarding career path or if it is nothing but a burden in the end.
