I knew something was wrong when nurses were telling me don't get into nursing and everything else.
Nurses do the work other Americans won't do. Do you hear a familiar immigration ring in your ears?
Otherwise, it's a tough education curriculum, hard work physically and intellectually, with crazy hours because the human body breaks down 24/7. Sick people are typically a miserable group of clients with lots of moving parts that can't be opened with a screwdriver.
I wouldn't trade my nursing education and experience for anything. Parlayed it into a very successful career.
