Congratulations! Pursuing a career in medicine is a bold choice, considering that a hospital can be a very harsh environment. But there's a big need for good nurses and I think you'll do a great job. As a med student, I know how helpful nurses are, especially when they're very experienced and you're just out of university. It is a hard job, but I think it is as satisfying as most of the jobs in medicine are. You'll be making people's lives better, even be saving lives and that is something you can draw a very special satisfaction from. It is dirty, there's blood, there's fecies and every other body fluid - but still - a great field to work in. Do you have any special field in your mind you wanna work in? Like ICU?
