Career Changes Support Group
This community is dedicated to the difficult challenges of transitioning from one career or job to a new one. Especially as we grow older, it can be very difficult to acquire the skills and relationships and take the financial risk to make the switch.
I used to be a nurse. I loved it. I loved to help people. For reasons I won't discuss here, I left the field. It is very stressful. But, I think caring for people is really important. Who else is a nurse?

Not a nurse, but am going back to school for ultrasound. A friend I met on DS is going to nursing school now and she loves it. Its a great field to get into! Sorry you left the field, but I hope you're in a happy career now :)

Actually, I really liked being a nurse. I love to help people, I don't mind the sight of blood, and I was great at starting IV"S!!!
