Hi everybody and thanks in advance for helping me out. I am 17 and have wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember. I love children and volunteer at day camps all summer and throughout the year. I am extremely excitable and outgoing and I love working with people and hearing their amazing journeys. Because of all of this and my love of science the idea of going into nursing- a career and subject area I find extremely interesting-seems perfect. However, I seem to notice that many are unhappy with their nursing jobs. Many seem tired, over-worked and sad, is this what I have to look forward to? It also seems many in my high school choose to pursue nursing as a career when they can't decide what else to do. This frustrates me because I am truly passionate about nursing and have worked very hard towards my goal of becoming a nurse. What do you think about this?
