Nurses...First hand experiences, Please

[100 acre wood]

Hi,
I would love love love to hear from any nurses on the board...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am in the middle of contemplating returning to school to get an "RN". I am sure this is what I should have been doing with myself for a long time, and now the opprotunity has arisen. For years now, I have felt I have missed the call and this is where I belong.

So I would really appreciate to hear your experience you would be willing to share. Thanks in advance!

It's funny, I've ALWAYS thought my calling was in nursing. Love people - all kinds. As I'm getting ready to finish up my BSN I realize I actually love medicine. It's interesting working ventilators and administering meds, changing wounds...but more and more I want to be the person prescribing the medication. Nursing has definitely been an incredible experience for me and I can tell you there is SO much out there - benefits are incredible and if you love to care, it's a very rewarding profession.
