My daughter as a nurse...

My fourth oldest daughter is starting college this next semester with the goal set of becoming a nurse. While she is a very bright and talented young woman, I can't help but wonder if she is the "right stuff" for nursing. There are fields of nursing that she could be employed in that if she does decide this is for her that would appeal to her, such as becoming a travel nurse. She's not exactly the type who enjoys the same shift and the same location every day, so I could see where having the option of going from different locations in the United States would not only be something new and different but would give her the ability to see more of our country.

I really didn't realize how many options there were for travel nursing until I started to do some research on the different fields within nursing. It makes sense when you take a look at nursing history, women traveled to locations within the US and beyond as nurses.

This is not to say that I won't be wrong about her ability to deal with the actual requirements of becoming a nurse. There was a time before I had children that I was almost as squeamish as she is when it came to things that now I handle without even a second thought...
