yeah you need a nursing degree. I think there are diff type of nurses or healthcare jobs. And some of that may not require a nursing degree. (a diapolma or certificate may be)

雖然人工高，但工作時間長，又要執屎執尿

Douglas also offers a nursing and a psychiatric nursing degree:

Given that you have a psychology background, I'm sure some of the courses are transferable. But that would be the case at other institutions as well.

r u sure u can handle the job?  if you just looking for a good pay job, there are a lot of options.

well i don't think we should question someone if they can handle the job or not~ obviously if they ask about it, they want to consider to be in the field.... you can look into langara, they hv a nursing program.

I think it's reasonable to make sure this person wants/likes to be a nurse and understand the nature of the work first.  Obviously, it's reasonable to assume that if you don't where/how to apply you don't know about this field very much.

Nurse is a respectful profession
