From Pre-Med to Nursing
So, it's come to my attention that I'm not really enjoying my major.
I mean, it's been fun and all. And by fun, I mean painfully difficult and bland. But, it's time to change.
It dawned upon me recently when cruising through possible fields of future employment.
I've always wanted to work in a hospital. I've always wanted to work with people. And, at the same time, I've wanted those people to look up to me. So, I always imagined myself as a doctor. You know, the guy in the white lab-coat who fixes all your problems. At least, that's how I pictured it.
But that's not how it really is. The doctor fixes your problems, yes. But you don't see this. He sits in a room, cruises through papers, and identifies the cure. All the while, the nurses help stitch your wounds.
I want to be that person out on the field. I want to be a nurse.
Two of my aunts are registered nurses. My sister is currently in the process of becoming one. My family seems to have a habit of producing nurses - well, at least on the female side.
However, male nurses are slowly becoming more common. Not only that, but I'll finally be a minority. Which means a bigger chance for reward. Now mind you, that's not a large reason as to why I've chosen the change. Yet, it is a plus.
I guess we'll see how things go?
