Please make sure you genuinely care for people if you choose nursing.\nIts wonderful having a caring nurse when you are needing care...They are much admired, much valued and much appreciated by the sick...\nWe take good health so much for granted...and we also take these service professions for granted too...\nIts not an easy job...but its very rewarding..if you care for people and enjoy looking after them...and I speak from a patients point of view...

You need to be admitted into the nurses program.  Besides the nurses courses, you'll need to take biology and chemistry - and anything else the nurses are required to take.\n\nOh, if you've never been in college before, you'll have to take all the courses for a degree, like writing, algebra, at least one art and one humanity--the whole curriculum for getting a degree which will probably include a foreign language.

Nursing is very hard. You can take a one year course. Lpn. Or you can go for two years, Rn with Associate's degree, or three years bacclaurette, or four years bachelor's. It requires you taking sciences and math and English as well as nursing courses. It's tough because you are dealing with human lives and there is no room for error. It is the most rewarding thing you do, however. It's worth all the aches and pains you endure in your back to make a difference to someone. You don't do it for the money, though you are well compensated. You bust your butt, you give up holidays and weekends and sometimes a night sleep.

Of course you can't be a good nurse unless you get pleasure out of helping people. That would be a true answer.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with saying that you want to be a nurse because it pays well (does it?). In fact, an employer would prefer that you like the money and other financial benefits. That way the employer knows you will not readily kiss off the job if the going gets rough--'cause you need the money.\n\n\n(If you follow Melanie's advice, just make sure you spell "affecting" and "it's" correctly.)

You can say that you like the responsibilties that a doctor has.  You feel that you have a bigger impact on a patient's life, not that a nurse does not.  You can say that it's been your dream to be a doctor ever since childhood, highschool, or freshmen year of college.  You enjoy chemistry, physics, biology, and the required courses and you want to apply it.  You can then say that the salary is a big bonus, then laugh..remember to laugh!\n\nGood luck with the interview..hope you get in!
