Ok so here I am to echo the sentiments of many that I've read since stumbling on this forum a few hours ago and that is I'm almost 39 and have been in Management for Telecomunications Company for 16 years considering Career in Nursing. The only caveat is my wife who is 27 is considering doing the same thing. Where do we begin? Why would we consider it? Our Brother in Law is a Nurse, our Friends are nurses and we see the reward and satisfaction they get from their careers. My wife is from the Philippines as is our Brother in Law he was an RN in the PI but apparently there are some friends going through the LVN/LPN program through Kennedy back in the PI for 3 months after studying in the States for 9 months. My wife is applying for citizenship and from what I've read on this forum this option although cheaper and quicker is not all that it touts itself to be. I've always had a servants heart :redbeathe and I've been in situations in Nursing Homes and Retirement Living places where I've volunteered and have had others comment on my ability to connect with the patients and make a difference. Any advice or reality checks greatly appreciated!
