I am dying to get out of nursing. Thinking of doing some travel nursing so I can become debt free and then move into a completely different field. Perhaps open my own business

Good luck to you! How long have you been a nurse for?

You can search here and on Indeed and find a wide variety of answers. Everything from law school to starting a dog grooming business. The kicker is that pretty much all the skills you have specific to being a nurse are useless out side of nursing, so you have to basically start over. But that's the idea right, bye nursing, hello ___fill in the blank___.

Thanks! I'm thinking about back to human resources. The nursing career isn't what I really thought it would be. Sad..

I see that you are unhappy in your job. Your posting history suggests that you have jumped from job to job in a short amount of time. You've been in the OR, cardiology, 'floor nursing', ambulatory nursing, and dabbled in psych. From your posts I believe you became a licensed RN in 2013.

Read this article. I hope it helps. https://allnurses.com/nursing-first-job/new-grad-hate-938894.html

If not, I hope you find a career that fulfills you, and I'm sorry that nursing isn't that career. Best of luck.

I'm getting out of the nursing field within the next year. I'm going to retire and write a book about the nursing field.

Thank you for the article. However the info about my job history and being unhappy is not true. Before you assume things you may want to ask or just stick to the subject at hand. Best of luck to you!
