I've read several threads about people with degrees and established careers in another field completing their pre-reqs and applying for nursing schools. Most writers on these threads seem so excited about their career change and anticipate that they will finally achieve their dream job. I am also planning a career transition to nursing and am hoping to be accepted for Fall 2011.
I'm would like to hear from those of you that already completed the transition to nursing as a second career. How old were you when you changed professions and how long have you been practicing as a nurse? Has it been all that you expected?
