also, keeping in mind, im 31, and being a hairstylist, i dont have a savings to get crazy with school. i like helping people, caring for them, and making people feel good, or as good as they can feel. I understand a lot of people get jaded by this industry, i like to think im more resilient than that. benefits, and pto are a huge plus that i never had before. where i currently work, im the backbone of my salon, if im not there or available to be there, its usually an issue, and ridiculously stressful!!!

the car accident has left me needing a career change because of how i need to use my elbows and con-torsion myself around cutting, coloring hair, doing pedicures, ect. repetitive lifting of the elbow in the air, not to mention at a fast pace, is pretty much the nail in the coffin. I am scheduled to get surgery in January, and am thinking, could be the right time for a new career! I love working with people, and i have always wanted to work in nursing homes, assisted living, ect. i was always too selfish to go through with it. (i think it would be hard to lose patients) due to a recent episode with my mother in the hospital and rehab facility, Ive realized someone needs to care for these people, why not me?

Hi, i am considering a career change due to a car accident. im thinking of going from a hair stylist to a nurse. my questions are.. 1. whats the best way to go about getting into the field? ive looked at several websites and schools, and it seems you can start working for a hospital and get trained as a cna or pct, for free, is that true? 2. if you could take all the knowledge you have now, what area would you go into, ie. hospital, rehab, assisted living, pcp office?
