I recently made a decision to leave the legal field in order to pursue a career in nursing. I applied and will be enrolled in an accelerated BSN program (16 mos). I'm 36 and have been working in the legal field since graduating from college 10 years ago; most recently in the healthcare arena. I know the transition will not be easy and have researched many topics and issues associated with the nursing profession in today's healthcare environment. For those of you that pursued nursing as a second career later in life, I wanted to get feedback on any hurdles experienced while in nursing school and what advice you can offer to someone getting ready to embark upon a nursing career. Any regrets?
