what profession would you go into teaching or nursing?

I think both are great and your choice should depend on your lifestyle. Of course you have to take into consideration the pay, but don't forget about the hours.  If you have kids/wife (or are planning to have them) think about the benefit of being a teacher.  You will have this time off with them.  As far as the nursing, I personally think sonography is a great choice. This was actually what I wanted to do as a profession.  My plans where sidetracked because of my son. You could still have a family and do nursing, so I guess the point is just keep in mind other factors besides the obvious one of money.

If you are in the US, nursing is most definitely worth pursuing as a career.  The impending retirement of many baby boomers is creating great demand for nurses.  My sister and mother are both nurses; my sister has her pick of choice jobs and my mother, who is in her mid-60s, is contacted every week with job offers.

Please make sure you genuinely care for people if you choose nursing.\nIts wonderful having a caring nurse when you are needing care...They are much admired, much valued and much appreciated by the sick...\nWe take good health so much for granted...and we also take these service professions for granted too...\nIts not an easy job...but its very rewarding..if you care for people and enjoy looking after them...and I speak from a patients point of view...

Go to a teaching hosp and become a student nurse,you can take the nursing exam,or join the Ambulance Service(demanding but a lot of job satisfaction).

My major is Nursing\n\nIf you are pushy, smart and independent, then you would also make a great doctor as they are all those things as well.

Your local library should have the book "Occupational Outlook". In it it will tell you everything that is required to become a nurse, what the different types are, what the working conditions are like, what salaries they make, and job opening prospects for the next few years.\nExcellent job choice by the way. Good for you.

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, in the nursing field.  There are also medical-related jobs not involving direct patient care, like medical records, which I am going to school for right now.  Medical is definitely a good way to go, but always keep your own interests at heart.

I would go for Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant--which is best depends on state laws. Both get good salaries and are in high demand right now.

I have been a nurse for 26 years.  I also just got my Bachelor's Degree last month.  I work in gynecology.  It is a wonderfully rewarding profession!!  If you are considering nursing as a profession, I would say go for it!

I think they would accept any major.  But you would need a good background in chemistry, biology, and math.  Figure out which school you'd like to attend and then check for specific requirements.  If that doesn't work out you could always go into nursing, a field that will boom as there is a major need for nurses right now, and really good pay too.

You should take up a course which interests you. You have to follow what your passion is. So if your passion is Science, go for it! :) Im also weak in math but I still managed to be admitted in a nursing course in a prestigious university. Dont worry, you can do it. :)

Nursing. It is one of the best careers. there is currently a 200K person job shortage in the US and it is growing. the baby boomers are needing more and more care and demand will continue to rise. Also it does not fluctuate with the economy such as the IT or computer fields. There will not be a health care bubble. A starting RN can expect to earn about 40-50K/yr depending on location. in california it will be closer to 80-90K. Also you will get a very good benifit package. there is competition for employees so it is a sellers market. In addition most nurses work 3 12hr. shifts, so you have 4 days a week off!\nIf you continue in education a CRNA (anesthatist) sp? can expect to make 150K+ and work a standard work week. \ngood luck\n\nI have a BS in Finance(graduate summa cume laude, lots of crap jobs, not many good ones), an am currently in law school. My wife is an RN and will soon be a nurse practitioner, she will likely make more than I will, and I will be working 60+hs a week.

I left nursing a few years ago and I write now. But, your math and science and degree can be used to teach.  Pay isn't as good, though. If you are single, investigate how much you can make as a nurse in Saudi Arabia. Just for the adventure of it. Even though legal nursing is a certification/specialty field, attorneys are always looking for RN's.  And, they pay better than hospitals. Good luck.

I would say Nursing, as you would have more career choices. You can work in a Dr.'s office (specialist or general practitioner) hospitals, or choose home care, school nurse, occupational health... there are plenty of places to choose from, you can choose something that works with the hours you are comfortable with and the money is superb. Good luck in whatever you choose.
