I wish your daughter the best of luck and after all the hard work, nothing will be as rewarding, I promise! |
I totally agree getting in is the easy part! But all the work is def. worth it, I am a RN on a Cardiac med/surg. floor and I LOVE it. Nursing is the greatest job you get to see every aspect of life and you get to share it with the patients and families you care for. Yes there are sad times, but when you see someone so close to death and then to see them walking out of the hospital when they are discharged it is great. As an RN I can work in any field of nursing, if I don't like one or am bored with the job (I never am) you can go into another area of care. They are very much in demand so you have job security and the benifits are good too.
