careerchange21

Hi everyone, I am new here. I would like to get some info about a possible career change to nursing. I have my BS degree already in Journalism and Sociology. I have mostly worked in public relations and marketing but I do not find it fullfilling and meaningful. I have always been great with people and would like to have a hands on career and I do not know anyone in the medical field and I have so many questions about what nursing entails. Does anyone know of any informative job description sites? What training do I need? I have almost a 3.0 in my undergrad, but it was mostly liberal arts based. How long is the training? I have looked into Curry and NU (my undergrad is from NU) but I saw on here they are HIGHLY competative.. so that is discouraging. What advice can you give someone totally new to this? Do you find your work to be fullfilling and fast paced? How much is life or death pressure type situations? Or how much is patient care and monitering? thanks so much!
