When did you realize working in the medical field or as a nurse was fit for you?

-Was it something you realized over time or in a moment?
-Did a person inspire you?
-As you progress into your career, do you fall "inlove" with your job?

What happens if I don't get into nursing school?

Next year I will be going to Michigan State University for pre-nursing and I'll have to apply for the nursing school near the end of the school year, but I'm worried that I won't get in. What can I do to still become a nurse if I don't get in?

Would you suggest starting in med-surg or the specialty of your choice as a new grad?

I am a junior in my nursing program, and I have always wanted to be a CRNA. I have been told not to over specialize too early, but I would like to start in the ICU to get experience. However, med-surg is more foundational and could teach me essential nursing skills before going to another unit.

What challenges have you faced as a male nurse, if any, and how have you overcome them? #Spring26

I am expected to graduate and take my NCLEX in Spring 2027. From there, I anticipate starting my nursing career in a hospital setting. From my observation, most nurses are female, and I am wondering what challenges may lie ahead.
