Hi, I am currently a senior in high school and have been interested in nursing for a couple of years. I was wondering if I could get some honest feed back wether or not this is a great career. I've been reading some of the previous threads and it seems like you guys gain amazing experiences. I'm not really up to date with all the nursing terms, but am hoping i could get some guidance. I plan on doing my generals for a year and then applying to the nurse program at the college I have applied for. I want to become a Registered Nurse and work for a couple years before I specialize to become a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist). Any feedback on that decision? Also about how long does it take someone in college to become a RN. I would also really appreciate if any of you guys are RN and can tell me what you do as an RN. I've tried to do as much research as I can, but having experiences first hand really help me with my decision. Im planning to job shadow at my local hospital. Any feedback in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
