I think most people are more educated in nursing as a career than OT. I gave up on nursing as an undergrad and regret it. I have to do what I can handle. I appreciate your realistic advice. I have read numerous posts on this forum and the pros/cons ...
Hi Everyone, I am doing extensive research on the nursing career. Making a career change is not easy the older you get. I have a back problem and I just don't know how bad it will get in the future. I have considered OT and Speech Therapy, but for so...

Hi Nanerz13! I am looking into TWU in the future.... I have pre-reqs to work on since my degree was not a science degree. Do you know if TWU recommended taking pre-reqs with them to raise the student's chances of being accepted into their program?

To RunnerRN2b2014: Wow! You certainly have taught a long time - probably long enough to retire! May I ask why you decided to change into nursing? I think I want a job security and be in a career where there is a demand as well as a decent salary.......

Hi Ummnasim! I am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and teaching positions will be limited again this coming new year. I have been job hunting for other jobs since I feel like I won't be able to get into teaching with no job fairs coming up....Funny how ...
HI All! I am making a career change as I have been contemplating on becoming an RN for two years now after I resigned from teaching in 2010 for family obligations. The budget cuts in teaching here in DFW Texas area makes it harder to find teaching po...
