I am a 30 year old accountant, married with 2 daughters. I have come to realize that the accounting world is not for me. I am too extroverted and relational for it. When I was a little girl I always wanted to be a teacher or a nurse. So over the last few weeks I have spent a long time asking myself what do I want to be when I grow up.
I keep coming back to nursing. But there are 3 things that have me worried...
1) I have a weak stomach. I can handle my own kids' puke and poop, etc, but I don't always find it easy to be around other peoples. Being a Mom has helped my stomach but it still isn't steel that's for sure.
2) I have a real fear of needles. Am I going to pass out the first time I have to stick someone? And I'm so nervous as a person is that is going to make it worse?
3) No one in my family thinks I can be a nurse because of my stomach and my fear of needles.
Should I even try it in light of all these things. I want to be in a career where I make a difference, help people, and has room to try new things.
Thanks for any and all advice!
