What would be the disadvantages of becoming nurse for my own children?

If I become a nurse do you think I will have enough time to take care of my own kids?I mean do you think this is a right major for me...how do you compare it to dental hygienist ..I like to continue my education to become a CRNA .......I am 37 years old student at college now.Thanks .

Nursing is a very unsociable job.

If you can avoid it with young children I would. You are concerned about missing out on their childhoods and I guess this is why you have asked this question. I always believe if there is any doubt - don't.

Dental hygienists have better working hours and conditions for running a home and family. I don't know how the salary compares but sometimes its better to take less money for better hours.

Many trained nurses have difficulties with their marriages if their partners are not totally unselfish. You need to weigh up the risks to yourself and your family of a career in nursing at your age.

Nursing should ideally be done by young energetic women. By the time to get to fifty you won't want to work physically hard and then what will you do.

It depends on what type of nursing you go into. Some nursing is very time-demanding. I think critical care nursing is like that. But my aunt works as a per diem nurse, working with terminally ill patients in their homes. She loves the job - feels as if she's making a significant impact on the quality of these people's lives - and she's able to schedule only the hours she wants to work.

So see if you can speak to people doing all sorts of different types of nursing. Find out what qualifications are needed for the different fields, and which fields provide more work-life balance. Target those that seem to fit you best.

Low pay. Long hours. Anti social hours. Cost of child care. Cost of car parking, petrol, etc. Sick people. Hospitals are full of them. Doctors on the make.

A rewarding career that will make your children proud of you. Gets you out of the house.
