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 :)

Sounds exciting! Fashion and retail are very people focused...I'm sure with your great people skills and your passion for fashion (I don't mean to sound like Dr. seuss with the rhyming)...you'll go far in the industry!!

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!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
