I think I'm smart enough to go to college to learn Nursing, but ...?

... I'm very weak in the stomach when it comes to vomit and feces; however, blood and needles do not bother me. I know in the U.S. right now, there is a real nursing shortage, and I'm wondering how rewarding of a career this would be if chose to go into that profession. (I have been a Medical Transcriptionist for the past 20 years, which is a field that is becoming obsolete.)

So you decided you don't want to do Phlebotomy now, huh? Okey-dokey.

You can do LPN which is licensed practical nursing - it takes 18 months to finish and you have to take lots of pre-req's such as anatomy & physiology, English 101, College Algebra 101, etc., etc.

To become an RN registered nurse, that's a 2 or 4 yr program, same pre-req's but longer schooling time.

LPN's start pay is $18.00-$20.00 an hr.

RN's are $25.00 an hour and up.

Good luck hun. If you feel you can keep up with the classes, by all means do it.

I am in my early 40's and decided to quit nursing school because it became way too much. That's why I stuck into being a medical assistant where I help the doctor, draw blood and help with patient care.

More power to you , hun
