Hi Udoka!

Great question, thanks for asking it! I think nursing is great when the nurse itself enjoys doing the work they are doing by helping others! Here is a couple of threads describing the day in the life and different pros and cons specific nurses go through that can help you determine if it is a rather "fit" or "good" career for you:

Hope these answers gives you a good perspective!

Best of luck!
