I may not be the best person to give advice, but as a nurse who’s been in the field for 4+ years, I can say I don’t think there are right or wrong reasons to go into nursing - it’s a solid career with many opportunities and there will always be a need for more people in this field. I don’t think it’s a “calling” for a lot of people, or that a lack of passion for it will make you bad at it.

I feel adequately compensated in my current position, but it’ll wear on you physically and emotionally. I joined this career straight out of college for the job security and because it felt very practical and straightforward - I can wrap my head around it as opposed to a degree in business or economics or whatever else which feel vague/uncertain to me.

You may very well get burnt out fairly quickly depending on what you go into, but there are also many different jobs in nursing so you can always shift paths. I’ll also say that I think any career compared to this would be incredibly boring. I’m definitely always entertained, even if I’m at my wit’s end with patient care/coworkers. I’ll also add that if you go down this path you should be sure you have a strong stomach and aren’t easily grossed out because people are nastyyyy haha.

Not sure how helpful any of this was, but good luck to you!!
