I think I want to be a nurse now. A lot of my family have been nurses my great-grandma, my grandma, my aunt, and my cousin soon. They seem to enjoy it and I think I will to. I'm also going to start a betting pool on how many times i'll change my mind about my career before college...
I've always wanted to be an anthropologist ever since I can remember. Maybe when my husband finishes school I'll be able to. I don't want to be in government for the rest of my life lol.
I know, me too. But that just goes with it. And you can pick your field of course. I like natal care. I also want to go to law school.
I am a nurse. It takes 4 years of college, which won't be too expensive if you go to a state school, more so if it is a private college. It is interesting work, I only do it part time now because I have another job, too. It pays well, but the hours are shitty.
You could be a lawyer/nurse you could fix people without doing anything to be sued. I have a lot of time. I hope i'll think of something though.
Well I think if I did end up going to law school, I could take on healthcare cases, work for the gov even. Just daydreaming it though. So far.
My aunts a nurse she's got is to where she chooses when she works. Only worked two days last week. I come from a long line of nurses.
It does not take 4 years to be a nurse. 2 year LPN programs, and an RN with a BA degree then would be 4 years. I have loads of goof ball family in medical professional careers. My cousin started off getting her RN degree and figured she hated blood so she went admin instead and now her last positions were Head of the BA of nursing program for Cox Medical Center in Springfield then a college in Seattle offered her more $$$ to move there. She makes a pretty penny and loads of perks.
It took me 4-4 1/2 years. Most of the programs around here are BS rather than BA. Yes you can be an LPN rather than an RN, that usually is only 2 years I think. That makes me feel bad, I have a couple of really good friends who are LPNs. I didn't mean to imply that you had to be an RN to be a nurse. Another issue with nursing is, because most of the people are female, there tends to be a lot of bickering. All jobs may not be that way, but many rest homes and hospitals have it to some degree or another. Not meaning to be sexist and say that all females like to fight, because some of the gals hate it and it makes them sick. But that has been my experience with it. I have only worked in hospitals except when I was in college I worked in a rest home as an aide, where I got treated like shit. The good thing is you really feel like you are making a difference in peoples' lives. Most people you take care of are pleasant (not all) and the work is interesting.
