I have an MA in pastoral ministry, and served as a senior pastor for 3 years before going back to school for nursing. I'm pursuing nursing as a complementary career to support my first career. :) More and more pastors in my denomination are moving towards "bivocational ministry" out of financial necessity. A good friend of mine, a pastor and healthcare educator, suggested I pursue nursing. I took his advice, and have loved it. Now I'm in my final year of nursing school, and thinking hard about what to include on my resume. Will hospitals care about my previous education/experience? Could it hurt me to disclose it? Is there some healthcare role that uses/needs both clinical knowledge and pastoral care? Any thoughts?
