Reflection

I would like to see a career being a registered nurse, not only because of the experience I may gain, but I wouldn't have to go to school for as long as any other medical profession. It seems like a fairly simple job with some decent pay. I believe I can enjoy this job. It seems like it would be a low-stress job, and I personally think that low-stress jobs are the thing for me. I think I would only have trouble supervising and attending to children for shots or blood withdrawals. I believe it would be a fascinating start in the medical career pathway.
