What is it like to be a RN?

I am attending Nursing school soon...I got my BS in a different subject so nursing is all new to me. What is the school like...what is the career like? What about pay....does it start low for a new grad? What does it take to be a nurse? Thank you!
Shouldn't you have explored this a bit before making your decision to enter nursing? Your questions are really too broad to be answered with any degree of clarity.
