No, the institution did not tell me I would be a nurse.  I happen to like and respect the online university I am attending.  As a single mother, it works out well for me.  I realize my degree will just be the start of a long journey, but I'm sticking with it.  When I enter my chosen field, it will give me the insight and experience to dertimine if this is truly my calling.  As of right now, I feel it is.  There are alot of bitter nurses out there and I would like to figure out why before I get too far into debt.
