Or what else could you see yourself doing?

I would choose a child psychotherapist. That is something that I was interested in at one point however nursing is my first love.

I guess possibly an Anesthesiologists assistants as it's one of the top paying jobs in US close to nursing.

"Anesthesiologist assistant, which is also called Nurse Anesthetist is ranked as the 15th best job in America with a median salary of $157,000 dollars." Anesthesiologist, Assistant Top Paying U.S. Jobs - EmaxHealth

  1. According to the AMA, in 2006 (the most recent job-specific data) anesthesiologist assistants earn from $95,000 to $120,000 per year. Credentialing and experience may increase an annual salary to anywhere from $160,000 to $180,000.

Lady of Leisure with nothing more on my mind than my next good book, choice of bon bons & view of my pool boy....

This...

My original goal was to be like the monopoly guy, tons of money and property so I could relax, travel, and read plenty of good books.

But then again, nursing had allowed me to able to do that somewhat... :cool:

Specializes in NICU.

I've always wanted to be a nurse and i love my job...

But if I wasn't a nurse...I'd want to work on a cruise ship. A girl I went to highschool with works on a cruise ship and has traveled the entire world two fold...if I weren't married I'd totally want to do that. I envy her some days.

Or a makeup artist. I'm a makeup junkie.

I would have Ben a vet too. Its sad that the only place I could get trained was Raleigh NC or chapel hill. I lived in the country so that's 6 hours away. So once again nursing won. :)

Specializes in Neuro ICU and Med Surg.

I really think I would've loved to be a detective. I love watching the First 48, Law & Order (The original ones). I also think I would've liked being a Medical Examiner. I really like trying to solve mysteries.

Microbiologist. Though maybe I'd restore old houses in my spare time.
