Jobs prior to Nursing

Published

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what other jobs we have held before Nursing 'Called' to us.

I started as a day care worker or "child care provider" and worked my way to a Pre-school teacher. After a MVA and 8 visits to the hospital within a four month timeframe and a lot of chaos, tears, and a lot of personal growth I remembered all the nurses I met. Those that were angels sent to help those in need and those from the other end who I wondered why the heck they were in the health care field and working with people. After my experience, my personal desire to help those in need, and knowing I was smart enough to make it through I decided to become a nurse. I'm a recent graduate with June 2010 being my one year mark.

I look forward to reading everyone's diverse stories.

Jack-in-the-Box employee, and manager for a day (that's a real humdinger of a story), busboy, pizza delivery (3 times), drywaller, etc. etc. High School Math Teacher. Engineer. Equipment Tech.

Always wanted to try nursing, but didn't have the guts until I had children.

Specializes in Med-surg, ortho, Acute care mental healt.

I worked as a window cleaner....broke a few windows so I got a job as a manager at a pizza shop...then I moved and took a cna class and knew I wanted to be a nurse after that

Specializes in Home Health, Education.

Worked quite a few retail jobs for a few years, then decided to enter the healthcare field and became a HHA, then a CNA, and became a LPN September 2009.
