So how long did you stay in the criminal justice field before knowing you wanted to go to nursing school? And if you don't mind me asking why did you get out of the criminal justice field? It is so nerve wrecking for me to change careers at this point of my life, I have gotten sick just from nerves, but I am just not happy where I am at right now. I guess you can say I am burnt out on the job. It was not what I expected when I graduated from College. I have completed all the prequistes for nursing school. I thought about the fast track 2nd BSN that some nursing schools offer, but I feel it is so fast paced for me since i have no experience with the medical field. I had an interest in nursing when I was going to college but opted for criminal justice because I had more exposure to this field and felt more comfortable. But now I regret not having beaten my fear and gone with nursing.

what path would you recommend, nursing or respiratory school

hello, I would like to know if any one has any advice for me. I am considering a career change from criminal justic to nursing. I have finished all my prerequisites and even completed my CNA, but I am scared to continue with nursing. I know nothing about meds and or the medical field and this makes me so nervous, I feel like i would not get past nursing school. I am considering, respiratory school because I feel this would be easier school wise. When I was doing my CNA I really wanted to see what a nurse does, but I did not get a chance to. Can some one tell me what a typical day for the nurse is like, specifically the duities? I tried to call a local hospital and ask to shadow but i was not allowed due to patient confidentiality.
