Thank you so much for your response. I think it was the most helpful. Just knowing that others have felt this way too really helps. Everyone I've spoken with, friends etc have never doubted their decision to be a nurse or ever said they were nervous about it. It's comforting to know that some have and I'm not alone in feeling this way. I just don't have time to waste and wanna make sure I stick with it.

Thank you again for your response. I understand what your saying. As an RN yourself, do you, looking back on your career in the field, still suggest that route?

Thanks. Besides the correction, did you have a suggestion or helpful hint to my post or just wanted to point out my mistake?

Thank you for your response. I have decided to speak with a counselor and look into possibly volunteering at a hospital. It may help to get to see hands on what I would be dealing with. I am still considering LPN but as you said a lot of the opinions on here are biased and most actually say it's a waste and go for RN.

I always wanted a career where I felt I had a real purpose. Where I was helping people and proud of my profession. I want to be a nurse, but I feel like if I just work in a doctors office or something less demanding at first it would help to give me a better idea of what Im getting myself into.. I just don't know if its a waste of time.

I am currently working towards applying to an RN program. I'm still doing prequisites. It's gonna take me at least another year. I wanted to go straight into a BSN program since I have an AA. Anyway, I'm terrified of working in a hospital. I'm not sure I can do it. I'm considering chucking the RN idea and getting my LPN and see how I like a doctors office. Is Lpn worth it or will I regret it?
