Can Nurses Lead a “Normal” Life?

Question:

Dear Counselor, I want to be a nurse, probably a registered nurse, but I look at the nurses I know and they have no personal life. One is an LPN and is going back to school, but he never sees his family. Another single mom I know is always working shift work. Is it possible to be a nurse and have a normal life? Thanks, Nommi.

Answer:

Question:


I have a BA in business and am considering a career change. I would like to pursue nursing but am well over 40. Giving today's economic situation, is this a good idea?

Nursing School But No Time?

Question:


I am a medical assistant with two part-time jobs. I feel if I don’t go back to college, I’ll never have the opportunity to do so. I would want to finish my career as a registered nurse and a teacher, but I don't know how to go about going back to school. I only have weekends and evenings available and a lot of the programs for nursing and teaching need day-time attention. What should I do?


PS I tried to go to a community college but that didn't work out. I need advice please! From Jayleen

Question:
This may sound silly. I am thinking of becoming a nurse but I don’t really know what nurses do during their day. What exactly is in a nursing job description and what do nurses do once they become a nurse? Thanks, Hannah


Answer:
Dear Hannah,
