Thank you for your input/insight. I am definitely doing my due diligence to make sure it's the right fit. Planning to volunteer at a hospital in the next few months and shadow a nurse for a shift or two to see their day to day. I've also spoken to a few friends that are nurses as well as someone that transitioned from advertising to nursing as well.

Hi Allnurses community, 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. Thank You!
