Thread: A new member and possibly a future nurse

    A new member and possibly a future nurse

    You see, I'm not a strong math student and I don't particularly care for science (I hate math), but I love the medical setting.

    I have plans to go to law school, but maybe that isn't for me. I want to be a respected individual and someone who really makes a difference in lives of people daily, but I'm not sure I want to go through 8 years of college.

    I mean, I'm going, no doubt, but I feel I have to get a masters degree, at the least, to be a respected individual.

    So, I'm thinking, why not nursing? It doesn't involve too much math and the science is all biological which is something I understand.

    Should I go on to become an LPN or RN? (I'm not asking which, just if I should take up nursing.)

    Yeah, I'm new. A 17 year old deaf male with a love for people.

    Nice to meet you.

    You will need to have a bit of math behind you (IV calculations). LPN or RN? Well, being an LPN allows you to work AND go to school for the RN.....plus, if you decide nursing isn't for you, you haven't really lost out too much.
