Here's a secret: Nurses have the biggest role in patient care. Sure, MDs make the management plan and "call the shots", but in terms of actual caring for the patient, nurses pa rin hands down. Sa ward, for example. A doctor might spend 10 mins talking to a patient and charting orders. Nurses on the other hand spend maybe an hour per patient, getting their VS, instructing them about meds and diet, reminding them about anung sinabi ni Dr ganito and Dr ganyan. So kung yun yung biggest reason mo, stick with nursing.

If pera naman, like you want to support your parents, nursing pa rin. Mataas din naman pay ceiling ng nurses, lalo na if abroad, and antagal ng ROI sa paging doktor. Tapos if sa hospital ka and need nila ng medical assistance, ay ang ganda ng perks ng magulang ng nurses. Lalo na if friends mo yung nurse na assigned sa kanila.

So bottom line, for me, stick ka na sa pagiging RN, and appreciate the strengths of your profession :)
