Happy New year to all. I am debating on being an LPN. I have 5 years Military experience as a medic and EMT. but that was 15 years ago in Pearl Harbor. I'm concerned I will not like the medical field here in Florida if I get back into it. Especially reading all those Nursemares on here and negative cartoons. little bit of history if you want to know: I am a 41 y/o caucasian male, who had prior military experience as a Corpsman and EMT in the Navy. None of that experience or training was able to be translated into the civilian world. I tried to go to college back in 2000 but Life got tough and I just got a job as a graphic artist and illustrator. Fast forward to now!, I am so frustrated with myself because I just don't like any job. I don't know which direction to go. Please help... -Sam
wow, thanks for that, im 41 and going back into LPN program. I was a corpsman in the military. its funny, in the Military medics are mostly men. WHile in the civilian world, Nurses are mostly women. anyway I digress, for the Original poster. 24 is a great age. I wish I can go back.
