Much to everyone's disappointment (my own chiefest of all), I have had to make the VERY difficult decision to drop out of the nursing program. There were several reasons for this, and on multiple levels, but I ultimately had to be honest to myself that the nursing profession was not for me, nor I for it. I have spent a full year doing pre-reqs just to get in, and now it seems my hopes have been shattered; I am 48 and this was to have been a 2nd career choice. Can anyone offer some perspective, and maybe even some direction for me? I would still love to work in the healthcare world (it interests me greatly), but can't handle the scope of nursing practice. Would 'unit clerk' be a decent fit, do you think, considering my brief knowledge of/exposure to pharmacology and med terminology? Does anything else come to mind? Advance thanks to all who might find the time (and heart) to respond...
