Very, very good points. I have been making this decision for the past 2 years and even currently (while taking pre-reqs) have minor doubts. It is a MAJOR, MAJOR decision. First and foremost, your spouse has to be on board (100%). And you must hav...
33 yrs. Male. 2nd career changer (in the midst of). Taking pre-reqs right now. Prolly 3 years from now will be in an accelerated BSN program. My wife is a nurse and is a huge encouragement. Don't get me wrong, she has bad days. Really bad days...
Seriously, wow! re: all the responses. Thanks again for all of your input. It was fun reading all the posts, esp. from those who were/are career changers. I'm a big believer in that if one likes the "nature" of their line of work, generally they ...

Yes, to some, "peace and safety" means the world is becoming a better place. But, what do you think the apostle Paul meant by these words in his letter to the Thessalonians, some 2,000 years ago? "History" says one thing. The Word of God, says anot...
