ThinkFirst

Hi all. I apologize if this is not the appropriate forum for my inquiry. I am considering a career change to nursing. I completed a B.S. in Comp. Sci. and a B.A. in Physics from Rutgers (new Brunswick) in 1993. I began as a programmer, nurtured a career through IT management, burnt out, had to leave. I might return if I could work up the courage. Nursing is in high demand here in NJ, and seems like it would be satisfying. I am confidfent I can handle the study workload, but do not think I can handle changing bedpans for a living. I am soliciting all thoughts, opinions, and recommendations: Is my motive appropriate? Are there institutions that will support my endeavor in the form of tuition reimbursement, OTJ training, other? What kind of investment/commitment is common up front? What can I expect? Thank you all, Anthony
