Why is nursing important to you?

Of the following which would be the"best" (I know it's subjective) 4 year nursing degree to choose and why?

• Psychiatric Nursing General Nursing Childrens & General Nursing Intellectual Disability Nursing I wonder which would be the "easier" degree programme and which could be the "toughest"? Thanks.

• Answer:

  All four careers are tough going - both physically and mentally. General Nursing would probably be considered the 'easiest', although it all depends on what type of ward you work on. Children's Nursing depends on how you feel you'd be able to cope with children who are very ill and possibly dying. It can be very mentally draining and sometimes you have to adopt a very 'cold' personality just to stop yourself from breaking down and crying. The other two can be very rewarding, but very taxing as well - although I can't tell you much else about it as I don't know anyone who does or has worked in those fields.
