Iam almost done with my prereqs so that I can apply to nursing school in the Fall,but now Im hesistant to. I always see articles and tv commercials saying how Nursing is where its at, how its a recession proof career(which is obviously not the case), and how there is a nursing shortage because older nurses will be retiring. Im seeing on nursing forums how nurses are being laid off, and hospitals are cutting back to save money, and how a lot of new graduate nurses are having a hard time finding jobs.To me it seems as if there probably isnt a shortage. Are there any similar careers that are kind of like nursing? Or should I just stick with nursing? I dont want to graduate from nursing school in the next two years and not be able to find a job because there are too many nurses and not enough jobs.
