Needles or Guns.

After High School.

At the end of high school, I had to make a really difficult choice. I did not know what to do in life at all. I knew I wanted to do a job related to people, but there were too many choices. When my mom suggested to me nursing, I knew it was the right thing for me. I then had to choose if it was going to be in civilian or in the military.

Choice 1 : Civilian Nursing.

Choice 2 : Military nursing.

Civilian Nursing.

At this time, I was accepted in Cegep de Sherbrooke and a lot of rumors were being told. One of them is that the program that I was into was one of the most difficult. During my progression, I was not sure if I really wanted to do this job for my whole life.

Choice 1 : Continue in Cegep.

Choice 2 : Question myself.

Continue in Cegep.

At this time, I finished all of my classes with straight A's. I also did internships to learn the ropes of my future job. As an intern, I also helped me to go more in-depth of my profession. One question was remaining in my head. I did not know if I wanted to put a foot in the door or to continue to study.

Choice 1 : Go work.

Choice 2 : Go to university.

Military nursing.

Choice 1 : Basic training.

Choice 2 : Harder course.
