She says that being a nurse is a very rewarding career, but it is also full of stressful situations and turn-outs that aren't always so cheerful. While death is a part of life, I would have to agree that it serves as a major downfall for many people who may have, at one time, wanted to be a nurse. Aside from the reward that you get from helping a complete stranger, the financial security is another large reason as to why people chose to go into the career. It is a huge plus to me because in today's economy where jobs can't be promised and stable, and money is much more scarce, nursing is always going to need more people and those within the nursing profession don't have to worry about loosing their jobs.
All the years that Terri has been a nurse she has never been laid off, and her income has always been a stable paycheck. She says that the nursing exam you're required to take is quite difficult but the security you have within the profession even just starting out, fresh out of college, has such a bright outlook that it's a great career to follow. I don't expect many problems when it comes time for me to find a job, and I am very excited for that time to come.
