How did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

Hi! :) I just gradutated with my RN degree last year and I've been working for 4 months. I wanted to become an RN because it's a stable career with good pay. RNs also only work 3 days of the week (3 12 hour shifts) which is great! :D You get a lot of down time and free time on your days off. Also there are so many opportunities in the nursing field. You can do ER, ICU, medsurg, pediatrics.. the list goes on and on. AND you don't have to work in a hospital. There are clinics around town (pedicatric clinics, fertility clinics, etc)
