Hi there, I'm considering going to nursing school and possibly eventually working just part time and having a business on the side (health coaching). Are part time positions common? Any advice? I don't know what kind of nursing I'm interested in at the moment. Thanks

Thanks

Thank you

Hi there, I'm considering a career as a nurse and I'm worried about becoming burnt out/overworked in the profession. My mom is a nurse and seems burnt out and seems like many other nurses feel it too. Thoughts? Are there certain specialities that feel this more than others?

Hi there, I'm considering a career in travel nursing and wondering if any RNs could speak to this for me. - What's it like if you're in a relationship- have a partner/spouse? - Are there ever assignments that are shorter than 8 weeks? - How common are assignments for diabetes education nurses or the like? - Biggest pros/cons?

Hi there, I'm interested in a career in nursing and wondering what others have to say about specialities that deal with nutrition issues. So far my mom (a nurse) has mentioned working in Diabetes or Cardiac. Are there any nurses in this area that I could chat with? I am interested in nursing primarily because of the ability to travel, have job security and the pay, and of course help others (which brings me a sense of purpose). However, my main interests lie in nutrition. How much do nurses in these specialities get to educate versus treat? Or perhaps people just volunteer (which I don't know if I'll have much energy to do once I start working)? My background- I started out as a dietetics student, switched to economics to get into the public policy side of it, then realized I hated sitting at a desk in front of a computer all through school and not helping people directly, and now I'm back to considering nursing. I'm worried if nursing is right for me, but could be a good option. Thanks

I don't know but my heart goes out to you! I'm a pre-nursing student and I worry about this, too.
