I want to thank all of you who took the time to respond to my question about whether my son should go into nursing. Since I wrote my question, my son did decide to go into nursing and was accepted into the first tier of nursing school. (They have to reapply as juniors for upper level.) My son is happy with his decision, but unfortunately this decsion embarasses his grandparents. I appreciate the support! Your thoughtful repplies were considered when he made his decision and are of great comfort to his worried mother (who is a teacher.)
I have a great deal of admiration for your profession as I am a health junky myself who loves to learn about my students' medical conditions, but hates the sight of blood.
