If I tell someone I am in nursing school, 9.75 times out of 10, they will say, “Oh, that’s wonderful. Good luck to you,” and the conversation ends there.
9.75 times out of 10 that my lovely partner says that he is in medical school, the reply is, “Oh, What kind of doctor are you going to be?”
For every branch of medicine, there is an equivalent branch (usually multiple branches) of nursing.
Come on! Ask me what kind of nurse I want to be.
