Considering a career as a nurse

    Hi, I am considering doing a degree in General Nursing in UCC. I have a friend who is just after finishing her first year and she has said to me that I would love it. While Biology was one of my favourite subjects at school and I do definitely want a job that deals with people, I am not entirely sure if nursing is for me. I dropped out of a completely different course in September so I am applying through my CAO for the second time and I want to be completely sure before putting down any courses. I would love to hear some opinions from people doing the course and from some people who are in the nursing career? What are the pros and cons of the job? What are the career opportunities like after? Is it possible to go into something like Speech and Language Therapy after becoming a nurse? Would you recommend becoming a nurse? Do you have to be a certain type of person to become a nurse? All suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance :D
