What career would YOU have chosen if you weren't a nurse?

[RN BSN 2009]

I'm very curious to see some of the answers here! If I wasn't able to do nursing, I would have done social work!

:balloons:

[Medic/Nurse, BSN, RN]

Done a lot of stuff prior to nursing - don't love nursing.

Looking forward to LAW SCHOOL.

At least as a lawyer, I'll have no expectation that everyone will be telling me the truth as they speak. Unlike nursing!

I wanted to be a singer/dancer on the Lawrence Welk show growing up, but ...

If I could do it OVER, I'd:

Go into the military out of college (Coast Guard) then FBI or US Marshal service.

or maybe - NASCAR driver, Astronaut & Playboy centerfold.

But now (fantasy):

* Cat Photographer (Dogs, too!)

* Inventor

* Author

or if I won the lottery I'd get a thousand acres of land and have an animal sanctuary.

Librarian in a small-town library, or maybe run a post office in that same small town.

Well, that's what I'd like to do, anyway...

Originally started in marine biology and switched to nursing...still thinking about going back to finish marine biology.......

Would have been a History Prof. Nsg. supports my hobby of reading studying history. Still like to believe that time travel is possible, although that theory is not likely possible.

But if I could, would go back in time, with the abx, of course, and my medical/nsg. knowledge. :-)

Wish I were 25yrs. younger, and the arthritis didn't tell me every day that I am not a "spring chicken" anymore.

If I hadn't gone to nursing school I would have pursued a career as a research scientist.

I still might go back for a Ph.D. in epidemiology, microbiology or pathology at some point.

High School or community college Math teacher. :)

Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Calculus

I think it would be SO great to teach a class like World Civilization!

Archeology would be fun, it's like the perfect combo: history with physical and social science.

I would be an elementary teacher-no weekends, no holidays-summers off!!!:chuckle

Hey, no kiddin'! Think about this, if you work @ a CC, you could only work T,TH or M,W,F if you wanted to. You could pick a subject like hx, that doesn't really change that much, wouldn't have to worry with constantly keeping up, you could give all your tests via scantron...lol And you probably wouldn't have to worry with keeping publications up and such.

an FBI agent!!!

I am sure the FBI would love to have you now. As long as you are in shape they are looking for RN's to infiltrate nursing homes in order to uncover medicare fraud.

Give 'em a call.

Personally I would like to be an interpreter for a major corporation. I don't speak any languages other than English right now but I think I could pick up a those romance languages pretty quickly and would like to take a shot at some of the Asian languages too.

Air plane pilot. I do not understand this because I hate to fly. Go figure!:chair: :chair:

[huladancer, ADN, BSN, MSN]

When I was little, I wanted to be a flight attendant to travel the world.

Marine biologist was on my list too as well as photographer.
