Surgery is fantastic! I feel as though, in some ways, I'm still a mechanic -- because in the OR, we are the "fixers"! People come in, they're "broken", and we fix them. It's fabulous. At this moment I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.
Anyway, good luck to you. Take care and think hard on this decision. Remember, anyone can become a nurse ... but it takes a special breed to be a GREAT nurse.
