Nurse ? yes no??

Question

im thinking abou becoming a nurse. i actually wanted to work with babies & be a pediatrician but too long of a career for a mom with a 6 month old. is it 2 or 4 years ive heard different? how much would i make right out of college?

the only thing holding me back is im afraid i wont do good at it or ill give some one the wrong medicine or inject in wrong area.. im not afraid of needles or blood but still that fear of doing wrong?

do you still think i should go into this field

Answer 1

2 for a LPN and 4 for a RN. There is tons of jobs available in this field and the income can be very good.

Answer 2

in every field of work there is always a fear of mistake. It is good that you are afraid, so that you AVOID making mistakes. You understand the consequences and that itself is enough to prevent you from blundering.

a police fears misfiring

an engineer fears miscalculation

an accountant fears imbalance

all of these costs alot of money if not lives

Answer 3

If this is the field you want to go in then go for it. I thought I wanted to be a nurse when i first started going to school and decided that i didn't have the passion fro it so now I am studing soemhing that I love (LAW) I also have the fear of making the wrong documents or just not doign it right. But I also know that I excell at everthing I do. Fear is normal. if this is what you want to do then I say go for it .

LVN OR LPN are 1 year in Texas a RN is 2 years

Good luck.
