I will be making a career change, from the banking industry to nursing. Thought about it over the past year. In my industry, Christians are far and few between. I suppose much of this has to do with the main focus being, money. Wondering about the...

I'm a career changer, so just trying to get an idea of what male nurses like about their job....

Very, very good points. I have been making this decision for the past 2 years and even currently (while taking pre-reqs) have minor doubts. It is a MAJOR, MAJOR decision. First and foremost, your spouse has to be on board (100%). And you must hav...

33 yrs. Male. 2nd career changer (in the midst of). Taking pre-reqs right now. Prolly 3 years from now will be in an accelerated BSN program. My wife is a nurse and is a huge encouragement. Don't get me wrong, she has bad days. Really bad days...

Well said. I hear ya on all the corporate BS. Funny how some are willing to part ways with all that for a lot less money.

Seriously, wow! re: all the responses. Thanks again for all of your input. It was fun reading all the posts, esp. from those who were/are career changers. I'm a big believer in that if one likes the "nature" of their line of work, generally they ...

I am 33, with an MBA in finance. I currently work full-time and am taking pre-reqs at a local community college to full-fill requirements to be able to apply to an accelerated BSN program. My wife and I are expecting our first. I hear ya on the "co...

Hi, Wow, this is awesome! I am in the midst of a career change from banking to nursing. I'm only now taking certain pre-reqs and then will apply to an accelerated BSN program. Also, I work full-time and my wife is pregnant with our first. Life ca...

HouTx, Does an MBA carry any weight in the nursing world?

Hi maybelaterRN, You'll have to take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I'm not an RN, (yet). Currently working towards becoming. I think probably the most "appropriate" response would be that you've made a committment to not talk about personal be...

I do agree with this. The Word is specific on this: 1 Timothy 2:5-7 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a ...

:) Thank you tnbutterfly.

I was not aware of that thread. Thank you!

Yes, to some, "peace and safety" means the world is becoming a better place. But, what do you think the apostle Paul meant by these words in his letter to the Thessalonians, some 2,000 years ago? "History" says one thing. The Word of God, says anot...

Simply, one in which the "tide" is ever so slowly shifting in the other direction, most likely never to return. Some may say the world is becoming a better place, but not so: 2 Timothy 3: 1-9 3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times wil...

I completely agree and I totally understand the nature of the workplace. It's just not the place to "wear" our beliefs on our sleeves, if that makes any sense. I commented on this a couple days ago: When I become a nurse, I will be absolutely caref...

I'll only say this: I completely understand and agree with you that many don't embrace Christianity today because it seems inconceivable and contingent. The fault does rest upon other Christians, many of which have a tendancy to "condemn" people. But...

Thank you!

I'm sorry that my post offended you. I'll admit, I did disclose my "belief", but it was in tandem with the subject of another post. I was simply replying to that post. Since every word in the Bible is that of the Holy Spirit, It is all God-breathed....

Wow, do you hear what you just said here? - I do. Eternal life is not for everyone? I didn't say, the Bible says: John 3: 15-1715 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave hi...

You are absolutely right. "Religion" does do that. But just remember, "man" has created religion. Christ claiming to be God and dying on that cross for "your" sins, is not "religion". Religion is what man has established, with it's rituals, tradit...

Hi all, I'm looking for any ex-corporate world employees that have ALREADY made the career change into nursing. Please give me your thoughts on your decision. I work in the banking industry. Have an MBA. Was contemplating this move about 1 year ago a...

Thank you! Actually, I start my pre-reqs in a few weeks. I have 3 semesters of pre-reqs (while contining to work my banking job) and then 1-2 years of work (school free), until I get into an accelerated BSN program. Leaving a career is NEVER an ea...

Done.

Vroom Vroom, You bring up an absolutely excellent point. We who are pursing nursing as a second career, are doing so because perhaps we didn't make the right decision the first time around. It is imperative that much, much research is done into the w...
