There are a lot of articles talking about teachers becoming nurses, but has anyone out there ever gone from nursing to classroom teacher? I’ve always had the idea in the back of my head that I should become a high school science teacher.... but it’s hard to throw away my hard earned bachelors in nursing! And take the paycut of starting a new career... and the teacher job market I’ve been a nurse four years now, bounced around surgical, medical, ER, even floated to post partum and other specialties. I started my masters toward NP... But I don’t find nursing fulfilling. Educating patients when I worked in a slow Emergency room and learning from the doctors on staff about every incoming diagnosis proved my FAVORITE job, but healthcare doesn’t allow for that kind of time anymore. Everything has to be done fast and education is left in the wayside. I dont want want to teach nursing clinicals, I just want to lecture, but I’m not interested in conducting research or writing a thesis. Nurse, NP, teacher, box tomatoes at the grocery store? Any suggestions or advice is welcome! I just don’t know what I want to do anymore
