Would you choose nursing again or another health profession such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, pharmacy, radiology tech, etc.?

I would choose nursing again. After becoming an NP, I had a supervising MD that strongly encouraged me to pursue medical school. I really thought about it and am likely still young enough that it would positively impact my career. However, I just could not see myself taking out the needed student loans after being debt free. I also felt my family might suffer under the time commitment of medical school.

I feel nursing has been a great fit for me. It offers enough variety to ensure that I will never be bored. I can have my pick of schedules and jobs. I have great benefits and earn a good salary to support my family. What other career offers choices of clinical work, advanced practice, teaching, research, policy, administration, informatics, etc?
