Julie, From your responses of what I have read and the responses you have received, you will have a pretty good idea as to what to expect. Believe me, I have seen a great change in my Daughter from what she has accomplished over the 4 yrs that she has been doing this. Just this morning we were sitting down to breakfast, (yes we get to do this every once in a while ) she said that she was considering going in for an RPN course. Just when I thought we were going to get rid of her Looks like she's going to be here for a while longer God you got to love a kid that wants to do thing for herself
You will do very well in that career, you have the desire and passion as well as the ability to do good...
Good luck in what ever your decision is
