Hi there, I found this forum looking up info about changing careers into Nursing. Just some background. I'm a 30 year old male residing in Los Angeles working as a vfx artist in the hollywood film industry. While it's a great industry to work in for young people who want to move around the world, I'm becoming more mature and wanted to look at more stable careers. I enjoy helping people and was curious about nursing. How is the nursing industry right now? I know things are unstable in general but what about nursing? How many months/years have your worked at your current job? How much time do you work a week? How much OT? What about paid time off? Is it okay to ask what the general salary is for an RN? I was considering attending a community college. Is this recommended? Any caveats? What community college do you recommend I look into? I graduated with a computer science degree. Are there nursing technician jobs that can utilize those skills? Thanks! noob33
