Im in a nursing class at my highschool. I know Im very luckly to be able to be taking this class in high school for free. Its 300$ to take a class like this outside of school. I got into this class to learn about physical therpy, but today in class, something else that my teacher mention, caught my attention. A nurse that takes care of people that have like bipolar, many personalitys, and so on. What is this nurse called? OR what is that field called. I think that would be a very good job, Im soo intersted in what makes people do surrent things, such as being bipolar, or why people hears voices and so on. Im not smart enough to become a doctor for this, but I think being a nurse in this field would be like Whoa, to do.
So again, what is this field called, and is there anyone on here that is this kind of nurse that could tell me about their job and if they like it. Thank you!* =D

Even if it's too hard to begin with, if you are a nurse for awhile you will learn a lot through your experience and will be able to become a doctor someday. Aim for what you really want and if you miss the mark, it's okay. The great thing about America and most other countries today is that you can continue to move up in your life if you're dedicated to it and passionate about it. Just don't give up before you even begin! That's silly. Next, what you are describing sounds like the field of psychology. If you are really interested and want to know more, who better to ask than your teacher? Your teacher will have all the information that you could want and more. Plus, you'd be sure that it is correct information. It's hard to trust anything that you find on the internet these days. Good luck! :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

I can't tell you anything about the field as I do not work in it, but wikipedia might be a good place to start:
