If you could no longer be a nurse?...

[NurCrystal22]

Hello, I like to share conversations with you all that come up at work, because you always come up with interesting answers. The questions of the day was "If you could no longer be a nurse, what would you do?" I had to think about this for awhile. I love taking care of people and helping them, so I guess my next choice would be teaching. What about all of you? If you woke up tomorrow and you were no longer a nurse? What would you do? And what would you want to be? :chuckle

Difficult one mmmmmmm I would love to run my own restaurant

[CritterLover, BSN, RN]

i would be a vet. definatly.

in fact, if i wouldn't have to retake all of my science classes, and the nearest vet college wasn't over a 2hr drive away, i would probably look into it now......

if something happened and i could no longer be a nurse, i'd probably try to get a job as a vet tech somewhere.

Difficult one for me, due to personal circumstances at this time.

I think a nurse practitioner, darn still nursing.

I book reviewer for a newspaper/magazine.

Eventually one day, a mother.

An college professor.

A forensic pathologist.

Write my heart out! I hear one can actually make a good living writing for publications. Then I would stack up the novels until someone noticed.

[General E. Speaking, RN, RN]

an Art teacher

a Marine Biologist

an author

a medical examiner

[not now, RN]

I'd teach college biology.

I actually have quit nursing, and now work as a health/medical writer. I could never imagine working in a hospital again. I'd go work at Starbucks if my writing career ever foiled.

Other careers of ex-nurses I know--librarian, dental hygienist, nursing home director (still nursing but upstairs in administration and a lot more money!), teacher (grade school), lawyer, physician, jewelry store owner.

I would love to start my own business. I love different types of crafts, make my own candles, beads and jewlery, soaps and lotions etc. If I had the time and the start up money I think I could do it!

President? :rotfl: just kidding.

I too would love to go to culinary school and be a chef. Maybe a teacher (my older brother is one, and my little brother who just started college wants to be one).

[All_Smiles_RN]

Definitely teaching.

[Annor]

I would be a princess.....a drunk princess!
