Any non-science majors here?

Published

I am 30 yo, with a MA degree in literature and culture and professional background in cultural management. I am considering a career change to healthcare and NP is one of my options. My fear, however, is whether or not I am the right fit for the profession since for many years I have been doing a completely different thing - humanities! - and my brain has been "pruned" perhaps)) Are there any NPs here with background in English/liberal arts who enjoyed it, but changed careers and are now thriving as NPs? Was it a difficult transition?

I have a degree in social work and have been working as a state social worker for almost 10 years. Currently doing my prereqs to apply to nursing school. It is definitely a change in the way you use your brain and such. I'm easing into it, taking a rather easy online class over summer and now just 2 science classes (with labs) this semester. Not only to learn how to study science, but also to get used to being a student again. So far, so good. It's an adjustment but not impossible!
