I know I want to work in medicine. The only thing tearing me between nurse or physician is how much I value patient/family connection. I want to work in the ICU or ER.

What I love about being a doctor is the knowledge and extensive education that they have. I love to learn and especially about scientific processes and the human body.

Nursing? I like the hands on patient care. I know I personally remember my nurses more when I was in the hospital, and all the doctors I had I didn’t like (maybe I just had bad doctors).

I’d love to hear from any doctors, do you feel like you have an impact on patients lives emotionally? Or just medically? (and any nurses who have observed this!)

Thank you!!
