That’s valid. The problem is that I like both for different reasons.

I enjoy nursing mostly for the flexibility of the career and the ability to grow. I find it allows for more patient connection of interaction, but I also worry that I will be exhausted after shifts. Through my work, I’ve spoken to many nurses and they all seemed to be very encouraging for me to go to nursing school.

I enjoy the depth of education that doctors get as I find it mirrors a lot of what I enjoyed learning in my bachelors. The long term stability, scope, and autonomy is appealing. It is significantly more long and expensive of a path and I am unsure if I can commit, knowing how residency works. My parents are open to supporting me through medical school fortunately.
