Leaving Nursing

I am thinking of leaving nursing but still need/want to work full time and would love to use my knowledge. Has anyone used a career counselor or found something they love and still make a decent income? Thanks!

    Great questions! You made a valid point that I never thought about with respect to salary. To me decent is $80k >. I guess I need to think more about what I truly love.

    I don't have a solid answer for you as far as what kind of job to go for, but I just wanted to point out that nurses embody several admirable and applicable characteristics we should use to our advantage in applying to non nursing jobs. We think critically under stress, time management skills, strong communication skills, team player, etc - so definitely play those up. Good luck finding something! I've thought for awhile about a non nursing job but I ended up PRN somewhere which kept those thoughts at bay.
