Five things I wish I knew before becoming a nurse
I wish I knew soooo many things before I became a nurse. Initially my goals were different. Medical school was the initial pathway, hence I studied biochemistry with a minor in English (I've always had a knack for writing and enjoyed reading and analyzing). This path quickly changed due to personal/family reasons. Nursing was my next best option and I did not know I would end up enjoying this field this much. It opened up a brand new avenue I never knew I wanted to pursue. However, Nursing is not without its ups and downs. Moving forward, what are some things I wish I knew before becoming a nurse? 1. Nursing is not for the faint of heart. This is coming from someone who did not even like the sight of her own blood. When I was a little girl, my sister had hyperemesis (active nausea and vomiting) during her pregnancy in which she had to be hospitalized for most of it. I used to bawl my eyes out because I could not stand to watch her suffer like this. Fast forward to now, and
