Both are really great specialites but require different personalities for persons to enjoy their work. Why are they so insistent that you specialize in Nursing Anesthesia? It would be good for you to understand why before trying to explain to them your desire to work in pediatrics. I hope you're able to work things out with your parents. Blessings.

You know what you want to do, not them. And second of all, who's going to be paying for the rest of their lives if you get a degree in a field your not interested in and be miserable for the rest of your life b/c you'd rather be doing a different career?? Not them. It's going to be you that's miserable. I can't really say how the best way to break it to your parents would be, after all every mom and dad have different ways of taking and interpreting things. You've lived with them for all of this time, so you should know how the best way to approach this should be. All I'm saying is, here very shortly, it's going to be your life your living, not theirs; shouldn't you be making the decisions? First of all, why are you even asking the question?!

So, this means you are a professional and make decent money to move out, make your own decisions, and to assertively tell your parents that you are now on your own. You have to have a couple of years of working experience before you can apply. You'll be so busy working as a nurse, that you will get a tougher skin to politely tell your parents you are going to do what you have to do. Tell your parents this isn't the 50's anymore.

If they cannot grow up for a minute to think of your happiness and disown you over the matter than they were never good parents to begin with.

So if they get mad who cares you will be the one putting in the hours not them. Live to please yourself not others, and if your really that financially dependent on them, u should step it up and not be as dependent on them. I probably didnt help you but i hope you do what you want Gosh, they will disown you for that, they both are great professions.

It is YOUR dream... not theirs... that you will regret not pursuing, if you don't follow your heart! It is a parent's responsibility to help their child grow up into a self-sufficient adult. They are not allowing you to do that. Sit down and talk to them.... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. The world needs Pediatric Nurses who love and care for children!

Adults make decisions for themselves, your parents need to realize this fact of life. I assume that you are an adult.
