I am thinking of doing a nursing course. What do people here have to say about nursing?

To give you a bit of background i did first year of an Arts degree but it didn't go well so i pulled out.

I went well in year 12 but couldn't keep it up at uni.

Nursing is very tough and invloves a lot of cleaning the bed pans if you get my drift... and all the patients do is complain, to and about you becuase they see you the most! That is the bad part of it, but i think if your up for the challenge it can be very rewarding to know how much you help people! I have more respect for the nurses than the doctors sometimes!

I don't know what to say to this because it just so happens that I was wondering the same thing today. I've just started my first semester at college..and I've got that big hopeful feeling that I could do anything. So I don't know what to say to you, but anything anyone else could offer would be beneficial to me too.
