i feel really bad today, i just decided today that i am quiting nursing school, i felt like i was doing something that was not going to make me happy but now all the other career paths i want to take only need associates degrees, i know my limits but i still feel bad, anyone ever given up something good because it wasn't for them and settled for something lower because you can handle it better?????

I know what you mean. I gave up heroin for crack and my life just hasn't been the same...

I did. Years ago I went to court reporting school to become a scopist ( assistant to a court reporter ) and was talked into ( by the school ) continuing education to become a court reporter, which I crapped out of to become a medical stenoscriptionist instead ( medical transcriptionist ), and I was kind of depressed to let that go at the time, but I really did well in medical transcription & am now going to get back into scoping for court reporters.
At that time I had to settle for something lower, which I wanted anyway, but then my hopes and dreams got bigger and then I realized that I was not cut out for court reporting. It happened this way all because my coping mechanisms were not fine tuned at the time. Don't beat yourself up too bad. At least you have and are considering an alternative. I answered your other question about Surg-Tech. Continuing education in the med field is a good thing for you. You are already educating yourself in it. I don't know why or how you decided that nursing was not going to make you happy, but at least you have and thank goodness for that. You really don't want to be in a place you hate. You can do a lot with an Associate Degree in the medical field & also flip over into something else medical with some extra classes and/or on-the-job training in your work place. Hang in there. You will find what you want to do.

i haven't but it doesn't mean what you are in is lower. you just chose what is within your capabilities. nursing students may not be able to handle better what YOU can handle better. :-) cheer up!
