I would say take the EMT basic corse and try that out. If you like it. go for it. It will give you prior knowlage of the medical field and help alot if you go for a nursing degree. that’s what I think I needed to hear. could you point me in the right direction for the emt basic course? i’d love to see if this is something I can do or not. thanks a ton! what types of duties do new nurses have to do? i know drawing blood is big, but what else? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-nurses-medical-staff-in-the-house/14985)._
