So I'm 30 and I decided to go back to school to start a new career. I work as a graphic designer now but I've just come to feel that it's not what I want to do with my life. I'd like to ultimately help people, not sell things to people. I know I want to do something in the health industry but I'm not sure what. I started taking classes again about 2 years ago since my math and science skills were not strong and pretty much nonexistent. So I started from the beginning and now I'm up to precalc and college level chem and bio, getting A's. So now I'm at a cross roads with where to go next. My stepmom has been a nurse for over 20 years and my father has a nursing degree that he never used until recently, when he lost his job in an unrelated field but was able to find work as a nurse. The job stability and constant need that I've seen for nurses has made me wonder if nursing is for me. My stepmom keeps telling me that I should go into nursing and eventually be an NP. I'm just not sure about it because I don't really know if caring for a patient is what truly interests me. I also don't think I have the stomach for things like bodily functions, surgery, wounds, blood, etc. Maybe you become used to it? I guess what I like the most is chemistry. So I'm leaning towards doing a biochem major and going into pharmacology but I still get the nagging sense that nursing may be a safer choice. I'd hate to go through college all over again to get another degree and not get into a PharmD program. I've been taking the pre-req's to get into a nursing program just in case but I'm going to have to make the choice to become a nurse sometime in the near future and I'm having a hard time figuring this out. My age does have me worried because I don't want to make another career change later in life. I'm pretty much ready to just stick to one thing for the sake of moving on with my life and getting on a good path towards retirement. I'm not looking back after this, no matter what I choose. Just wanted to get this off my chest and see what people thought. Any recommendations for or against nursing? Would it be crazy to get a BSN but then try to get into a PharmD program?
