Hey! I'm getting near the end of high school, and I know I want to be a nurse. I have not one shred of doubt about my passion for nursing. I have a couple of possible areas of interest, and trauma nursing is one of them. I absolutely love fast-paced ...

Hey y'all!! I'm going to college in August, and I know for a fact that I want to be a nurse. I am also positive that I want to work in some area of pediatric nursing. I'm pretty interested in oncology or some area of the PICU, but I know that there i...

Thank you so much!! I live very close to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, and I plan on trying to volunteer there sometime soon!! Everything you said was extremely helpful and I really appreciate it!

Thanks! I know that many people find a different area that they end up loving. I'm not closing myself off to other areas, but based on multiple volunteer experiences, job shadowing, and clinical experiences, I'm VERY interested in peds.

Okay, so I know for a fact that I want to be a nurse (likely pediatric.) I also know for a fact that I want to get a tattoo ( also please don't question this/tell me I shouldn't get one... Yes, I know that it's permanent. It is to honor my grandfathe...

I would really like to get it on my forearm, but I've also considered the wrist because it's close to where I originally wanted it, but I feel like I could hide it easily enough (with a watch)....

Thanks! I do realize that I'll have to cover it in nursing school.. I've already researched their policy. I don't really mind that, but I just don't want to have to cover it for the rest of my life.

Thanks!!

Awesome!!! Thank you!

​Hi everyone! I'm going into my senior year of high school, and I want to be a nurse. I know many people typically think that it's just a cool idea and that someone doesn't know what nursing fully involves, but I assure you this is not me. For the ...

Okay so I know this may sound ignorant or somewhat dumb, but I really am just trying to find out the answer to a question I've long held in my mind. I have asked multiple NPs that I know and Googled, and all of them are either nursing managers, teach...

Thank y'all so much! I really appreciate all of the insight everyone is giving! And Isabelk you sound like you really love both sides of your job! I love that! Adventure_RN that analogy was really helpful!! Thanks!

Thank you dranger! Honestly I feel like a lot of what's online and a lot of people's ideas of NPs is that it's just a "higher level nurse" & that NPs are the same as nurses, just with more schooling. Or it's thought that NPs are nurses with a few...

Honestly I was just curious to learn more about it. I'm always interested in furthering education and going as far as I can in something. It's not that I WANT to be a NP, I've just been curious as to what exactly they do! I was simply wondering if it...

Thanks! I'll look into that!

Thanks for all of the info flyingscot!! That's all really good to know! And Brandiep I find that career super interesting! One of my best friends wants to be a paramedic. I've considered that too, but I really feel like I'm supposed to be in a positi...

Thanks so much! That's a lot of good information:)

Not at all am I basing this off of television. I completely know and understand that it is not a constant flow of crazy trauma cases. Real hospitals aren't like Grey's Anatomy makes them out to be. Like I said, I've done my research. I am simply inte...

Honestly I'm not dead set on a certain aspect of it! I just would love to be in that environment working with severely injured patients. I'm really open to any area of it. I would love to learn about experiences from all areas of trauma nursing!

Thanks for being so descriptive

Oh you aren't discouraging me at all! I want to know every aspect of it, so the negatives are welcome too! It's good to know those kinds of things that you really don't think about until you're in that job position! Thank you so much for sharing!
