   Thanks everyone! I do agree with what everyone has said, but I also agree that I should really see a career counselor. My university is a little hard to seek help at, but I can search for the right person. I have such a hard time making decisions, es...

   I chose nursing because I love helping people. Whenever I have a sick friend or family member, they always come to me for advice. I have the "personality of a nurse" (as some have told me), but certain aspects of the job don't really appeal to me. I'...

7. Second Thoughts about Nursing

   acbamy55 replied to acbamy55's topic in General Nursing

   Guttercat, I start my first clinical in three weeks. It's in a nursing home, with a small group of other students. I am terribly nervous about them, but so are the rest of my peers. I figured I will push through the rest of this semester and see how...

8. Second Thoughts about Nursing

   acbamy55 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi everyone, I was just wondering if any of you have felt that nursing was not for you at some point, or know someone who switched careers? I am currently in the second semester of my sophomore year in college and I'm enrolled in my school's BSN pr...
