What would you do? What is the average salary? Is it rewarding? I want to be a plastic surgeon, but would being a theatre nurse be sort of similar? Because they work closely with the surgeries. Im 16 by the way and have excellent grades and determination.

I have become very interested in the medical field and am looking into nursing. I LOVE kids! So I'd like to do something in pediatrics, neonatal or obstetrics. Do you like your job? What specialty do you work in? What do you do on a daily day? Would you reccomend this job? I'm also considering teaching as another career.

Hey everyone! So I've always wanted to go into medicine, particularly a field dealing with obstetrics and gynecology. For awhile I was dead set on going to med school, but I really don't know if I'm willing to put all that time, effort, and money in going to med school when I could be a nurse and still work around women and babies. So I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice? If there are any CNMs out there, do you like your job? Is it rewarding? What's your salary? Thanks!

I am trying to gather as much info as I can about nursing. I have heard many good things about the profession, and plenty of bad. I'm trying to gain an understanding of the down-side of nursing. Most of the negative things I have heard are that nurses aren't treated with respect from their colleagues and administration, and are given impossible workloads. I feel like most of these stories I have heard are from nurses working in the med/surg. department. Am I right? I feel like throughout most of the negative stories I have heard, I hope it is mostly WHERE they are working, and WHO they are working with. I'd also like some opinions from nurses if it is a bad idea to go into nursing with the hopes of having a meaningful, fulfilling, stable JOB, while still being able to do other things I enjoy, such as art, music, film making, etc. In other words, I realize the dedication it takes to get through school, and to be a good nurse, but is it possible to work as a nurse and do other things? That is where I would like to be. Thanks so much to all of you for the work you do, and your help. I also wanted to ask if women or men are treated more poorly as nurses, if either?

Originally she had wanted to be an OB/GYN, but after I sent her some books on midwifery and she did a school sponsored tour program she decided she wanted to be a midwife instead. I wondered how the world of obstetrics was treating midwives nowadays as I too, had once wanted to do the same thing but between new legislation regarding their ability to get malpractice insueand finding a practice that included them on staff I changed my plans. Im so proud of her but I worry about the difficulty she may experience finding a job in this field. Do you think midwives will have a stable career field in 5 years?
