My brother is a nurse. He likes it because he is always in demand and therefore he can select when he wants to work. \n\nI think he does it because he have a very positive attitude about life in general, likes to help people and feels what he does really makes a different.\n\nOh, and the money not bad.  He has  four kids and put his wife through medical school.

If I had talent, I would have loved to be a professional singer.  Since I don't,  I am very happy to be nurse. Doctors are on call and are too busy to be with patients for long.  I get to be with them for 8-12 hrs and spend time with them and make a difference.  (Then I go home and live my life with my husband and family).

Well, just think of it this way. When your patient is on his or her death bed, or you know for a fact that they arent going to make it, you tend to take your work home with you, especially if you care about that patient. So it's not always easy being a nurse. Its fun to help, but you see a BUNCH of bad sh-t. As for a teacher, it depends on what grade you go into that you would get the most enjoyment from. But just think, as soon as they graduate to whatever grade, you're left with that perfectly ignorant bliss that they are making it someowhere in their new lives because of you.

nursing involves a lot of hard work, plus being sociable, if u have it in u to serve others without feeling bad about it , then go for it.

Im an LPN and my passion has always been working with the older folks, I just love them, I also like mental health. It all depends on what you like to do, dont work somewhere only because of the pay, decide what you want to do and see what is open in that field. There are lots of jobs out there that you wouldnt even consider needing nurses, things like factories, schools, camps etc etc.

If you are burned out being a nurse, consider teaching.  My local community college cannot train all the new students who want to be nurses because there aren't enough qualified nurses willing to teach.  We need you in the classroom!

i have been a nurse for 3years now.  it is a very tiring field not only physically but emotionally.  not only the pt., but also their families are relying on you.  if you are a people person and enjoy helping others, then i say go for it,  there is always work.

Communicating with doctors, nurses and patients is very important.\n\nYou have to  understand the doctors.  Relate to other nurses.  And figure out what patients want.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Is it acting, or real estate after becoming a nurse? An RN can always find a job so that is a good choice if you still want to eat while pursuing a different career.

I applaud you in wanting to becoming a nurse and doing it on your own. Here is a little story for you and may it help you. I was 20 when I got out of high school and my parents could not afford to send me off to college and so like you I had to decide what to do. I joined the Marines and spent time during Viet Nam, when I got out I had saved enough to get training into the field that I wanted to be in. I found a cheap computer and never being on one before but having the fields that I had learned while I was in the service. I learned very quickly and became good at what I wanted to be and to make a very long story short I ended up helping the family and and friends that supported my efforts to make my dreams to come true. Before my mother passed on to God and the Spirits above she told myself that I had become a jack of all trades and a master of some. What made me proud was that she said any thing is possible if you put your will, soul and mind to it. Good Luck at what ever you decide and may you always succeed at. God Bless

Your local library should have the book "Occupational Outlook". In it it will tell you everything that is required to become a nurse, what the different types are, what the working conditions are like, what salaries they make, and job opening prospects for the next few years.\nExcellent job choice by the way. Good for you.

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.)

Nursing is an excellent career choice if you have the ability to block out negative energy.  I nursed for 4 years and had absolutley no problem at first, but once i started seeing so much pain and suffering day in and day out, i could no longer separate my job from my life and found myself sinking into a depression thinking about all the people that I had seen suffer and die.  Unfortunately I could not get the good to outway the negative anymore and was forced for my own sanity to quit doing what I loved.
