I am a recent graduate in Childhood Education/Special Education in NEW YORK. There are very limited jobs. I was thinking of starting over and going back to nursing, however, I don't know if this career choice is right for me. Also I hear that you should have your BSN, not just AN? This would mean I would have to find a 12 month accelerated program to get into and make sure I have my BSN. I do not know if I should stay with education and go for my masters, or make the career choice now while I can. The only thing that worries me is my husband is a police officer. His hours rotate, he is never off for holidays, and when I have children I want to make sure I am around for them. Is this possible in the field?? Do nurses hours always rotate?? Do you hvae to work weekends and holidays???......
Is it really about the patients?? Or do you have to worry about paperwork/doctors/patients families more than that?? I need insight on the field, the Ins and Outs, the good and the bad to really help with my decision. I would appreciate both negative and positive aspects of the field. Also I am from NEW YORK- and have heard recent graduates cannot find jobs- is this them being picky? Or is the job market tough in the Nursing field----
