Reflection: Do you think you would you like to be one? Why? Why not?
I think being a LPN would be great because i get to take care of people and that's what i really want to do for my future. The problem is that i was thinking of doing something higher than just a nurse, like maybe a doctor. I think though, this will be one of my choices because it really does sound like a good career and you don't even need a lot of years in school. This will be such a fast and easy career to accomplish and I will still be able to help people out as much as i can.
