Honours are always a good thing, and if they offered it out of the blue, a bit of, y'know, an honour. But if you don't enjoy research, is there a point? I'm unhelpful, but with to transmit feelings of supportiveness to you in this, your time of indecision.

Yea, I've been talking to people and they say:
"You're young, you've still got time, do it."
"You'll need it to move up the ladder." which is very true.
Only, that means it'll be an absolutely huge overload on me. The New Grad Programme next year which is highly likely to put me into a depression (not kidding), moving outta home, possibly my bro won't be here, doing part time Honours, which means 2 years, actually working 40 hours a week and that little money going to supporting my single self, living alone, going to uni. I don't know if I can handle the work coming from all angles, and lack of support.
I should do it if I wanna move up, but I don't mind research, I just don't wanna BECOME a nursing researcher. A clinical nurse specialist, or clinical nurse consultant yea but not nursing researcher.
I should just do it eh?? It'll kill me. I mean, I'm trying to comprehend how hard it'll really be going into the biggest healthcare workforce. *sigh*

if you can do it, and you don't mind it, you should go o.k. and i'm almost certain no-one will force you to become a nursing researcher full time :)
it may be crazy-hard, but remember "we have the strength t fac all conditions by the power Christ gives us". I hope i quoted that right.
anyway, best of luck in whichever you decide, maybe better say best of luck in deciding...
