I would like advice should I become a nurse? I've been thinking about it a lot because of how the economy is in Michigan, the only careers that are available it seems is in health care, the other jobs are not secure or I would have to move. Nursing provides security, people will always need help and plus money is good which is a must for me in the future. Being a nurse isn't what I really want to be but in life sometimes you gotta choose the best for the future. I am a nice, friendly, compassionate, empathetic person which are qualities meant for nursing but I just wonder could I handle the hard work and training. I wonder if I could be successful? I know once I put myself into it, I will give my all. I just wonder if I can handle it. I hate throw up and blood but I know I will learn to deal with it. I have long nails which I know can't have in nursing and it'll hurt me to take them off but I choose a career over nails. What are the duties of nursing? What is the pay and days like? I would like to be a pediatric nurse, how do I go about that, how do I train?
