Why did you become a nurse?

I'm in pre-nursing and I decided to do a BSN because I love learning about different diseases/conditions, physiology, and patho :) I hope to become an NP. I know it sounds super selfish, but I didn't really decide on nursing because I want "to help people". I just love learning about medicine so much! How about you?

    I honestly don't know. I've always wanted to be a nurse, since I was a child, but can't say why. I never know what to say when I get asked.

    I do find it very interesting, and I'm very passionate about it. But no it wasn't to help people and be that selfless person people imagine nurses to be. But I do find it very rewarding when you get to see some going home whose health has dramatically improved and benefited from you being there.

    For me, I wanted to help people. I'm a big people person. I also love the medical side of things - medicine and science fascinates me. Decided to combine the two - boom. nursing.

    Good income, stable career, ability to find a job in any part of the country, and flexibility to raise a family. Yeah, I like to help people too, but there's lots of ways I could have done that.
