At 29, I decided to change my career path to something I always wanted to do- nursing. It isn't a far far cry from what I do now..which is also nursing, only my current patients have 4 legs! I have been in the veterinary world for well over 15 years, but I always wanted to be a human nurse so, here I am, now 31, and going through the motions and changing my life- one (actually, more like 3 or 4) class at a time! I am applying to nursing school in Feb 2015 and crossing every finger and toe I have that I get in!
