I'm 30 years old and seriously looking to change careers. I thought about going into nursing when I was in my early 20's but somehow ended up in computer drafting and design (Oil & Gas). Anyway, I'm sick of the lack of work and being stuck in Houston the rest of my life just isn't what I'm looking for. I think nursing is something I would enjoy and would like any advice you would like to give me. Here is a list of things I'm curious about.
1. Opportunity for travel.
2. Money.
3. Job stability.
4. School (2 years or 4 years?) (What to look for in a school) (Difficulty) (And anything else you would like to add)
5. This might sound stupid but do you need a extremely strong stomach? I think I do but then I have never seen anything extremely bad.
6. Your overall opinion of nursing and anything else you would like to add.
Also a little info about my situation.
I'm a 30 year old married man with no children.....yet. My wife is a golf pro who loves to travel and works almost every weekend. We both want to move out of Houston in the next 3 or 4 years. Anyway, I guess that's it. Thanks a lot.
