Do you even want to be a nurse?

No, obviously not. I grew up wanting to be a third grade teacher, everyone knows that. But you have to go where the money is in order to have a stable future, and that's nursing.

Earlier today, my mom was telling me that she spent her first few years of college studying to become an English teacher. She didn't pursue nursing until her dad and sister "made her" do so. But you know what? My mom made it a long way as a nurse, and she's happy.

Happiness and success. I want that.
