Wanted to get some feedback from those who decided to switch to nursing in the 30s after working in a completely different industry. I'm 35, single, no kids, debt free and am contemplating making a switch to nursing from the advertising industry. I've done the Myers Briggs and Enneagram tests and both of them have nursing listed as one of the ideal jobs for my personality. I'm currently employed and would love to hear from people that have had similar experiences. I have a degree in Sociology so not sure if any classes would transfer so I'm assuming I'd have to start from scratch. Any insight, links, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Hello. I'm 33 and have an Associates in Administration. I currently work in an Emergency Room doing patient registration. I just got into a nursing program for Fall 2018. I must say that it has been somewhat scary making a big decision like nursing. Trying to go to school, work full-time and take care of 2 kids is going to be a challenge but there is no other option!!! Good luck
