There's more to nursing then sticking people and thats what I love about this field there are so many ways to be in healthcare. If you know you would be happier sticking people then having people screaming at you for there pills then follow your heart. Do you really think you have to have RN behind your name to make your mom happy?

I wouldn't become a nurse just because your mom wants you to be. You would be miserable! I know you don't want to dissappoint her, but I'm sure she REALLY doesn't want you to be a nurse if you don't want to.


As far as being smart enough goes, if you really want it, then you will study hard, and learn the material. So don't worry about being smart enough. Just go for what you want to do and what fits into your life. Like you said, your partner wants a child, so you need to work that out as well as your future careers.

The only difference between you and that Nurse standing beside you is?


Confidence


CNA you have six years of Nursing skills experience,,,go to school and get your Pharmacy.


Take the test


It's just waiting for you to take it!
