Has anyone ever left nursing for something totally different? I'm interested in seeing what people leave nursing to do.

It doesn't even have to be you, it could be a colleague etc.

Sometimes the stress of nursing gets to be too much and we just need something "easier" to do. Or, sometimes we pick another "profession"

I confess, sometimes I want to go back to being a secretary or admin. assistant. 9-5. Do my work and go home. Is that weird?

Any stories to share?

Specializes in Medical.

Former colleagues have gone on to work as: a speech pathologist, a medical records clerk, an entymologist, and a minister. Two nurses I work with are currently studying psychology and accountancy, respectively.

Very interesting posts............thank you very much for sharing.
