I used to be a flight attendant and now nursing. There are many similar aspects to both, like caring for people (but much more intimately as a nurse-like wiping butts?). You still have to deal with **** from time to time. And the hours can go into (and throughout) the night just the same (but usually even longer than most flights). But you get to go back home everyday and you can make wonderful friends regardless of the different shifts we all have. I LOVE nursing! I feel it’s very fulfilling to be able to make a difference in people’s lives too. But being a flight attendant also had its perks. Being able to change cities and meet different people all the time. Also, you seldom have the same inflight manager or colleagues twice, so if you don’t really click, you just have to make it through the flight and then sayonara. Same with any not so nice customers, they can’t follow you on your next shift they way they can when you’re a nurse. But I have to say I have no regrets. Love nursing?
