I had planned to become a Nurse,an enrolled nurse, which does not even exist now, and of course it cost you a lot to train now, it was free in my day, i left school a little young to enroll in the training, and spent two years nurse aiding in a private surgical hospital, the first year was great and i enjoyed it,the second year was awful , staff had been halved and it was not fun, needless to say i did not go ahead and do my training, and i regret it to this day, i went on to do mostly clerical jobs, for the defence headquarters, and i hated it all, i never found my niche and still have not, i know i love working with people and helping them, and i am still interested in anything medical, but nursing is not for me anymore, i don't enjoy all the blood etc, although while nurse aiding i went into theatre and saw two operations being performed and i could not get close enough, i was so intrigued, but now i would run a mile. but having said that i would make a far better nurse now than when i was young, i have learned compassion,and i have lived life,maturity does that to you,i certainly did not have the same compassion for people when i was 16 than i do now.
