I'm in my junior year for nursing, stick through it, the first rotations are bullshit but medsurg, OR and ICU shit is awesome. Get a good base in anatomy, and learn the classes of pharmacology or it will come back and bite you in the ass. Basically study your ass off and make a base of knowledge that is pretty solid, so you can act out of intuition in the field.

And try not to vomit or pass out in clinical

dude, i wish i had the motivation to do this. a friend of mine is a registered nurse/EMT.. works from home.. makes good money.

calls in to sign in or whatever, and he just goes to work if they have an ambulance call and they need him.. he does like a 36 and 24 hour on call shifts a week and lives a super chill life.

another friend of mine just does 7 on 4 off... and i'm sure she makes good money as well. only been qualified for 3 years.

good luck to you.

i like the way you think. all though it would be tough to start my own business, unless i decided to go pre-med and start a family practice. but i kinda wanna specialize as an anesthetist.
