  9. I'm 39 and want to become a nurse.

    One more comment from a fellow career-changer (left a management position in PR for nursing). It's scary. You will have bad days and second guess your decision. I go home many days and don't feel...

    As a student, I am required by my school to purchase $1M per claim $6M aggregate insurance from NSO (I am a renter, by the way). I think it only cost me about $29 a year! Although I'm not a nurse...
