Stick with nursing or not?

Nurses General Nursing

Hey, all I have posted a few times on here and just need some sort of guidance or advice of some sort. I am enrolled in a BSN nursing program, but the more I think about it I am not sure if I want to stay in nursing. I enjoy working with the patients, but the thought of me possibly catching something from the patients and being exposed to different diseases frightens me. I was thinking of maybe going LPN to see if nursing is even right for me since it's much quicker, but then I thought why go from BSN to LPN. I am really leaning towards going to Diagnostic Imaging or Physical Therapy Assistant. All the resposibilities of the nurse sort of scares me too. Do you all think it would be wise for me to change majors all together or what. I mean I enjoy working with the patients, but I'm not sure if it is quite in the way nurses work with patients. Has anyone felt like this b4? If this matters, I am 22 and already have an associates in another field.

I want to truly thank each and every one of you for your advice. You all are right about the catching diseases part. I am going to stick with nursing, because weighing everything out nursing does have ALOT of options!
