Whatever you do, do not go into nursing just for the money. You must have a passion for caring for others (which I assume you do as a teacher) and be able to put up with difficult situations, patients, families, etc. Need to be an incredible multi-tasker and calm under pressure. If you can do all that you will make a great nurse and have incredible job security.

This! My wife is a nurse and has a genuine love and the patience for wanting to offer care to others. And i’ve seen some of her coworkers who obviously did it for the money and the care isn’t there. They do things half assed and it’s usually the patients that suffer the worst because those kinds of nurses only do enough for the check and not what’s best for the patient.

All the nurses I know are trying to leave for exactly the same reasons all the teachers I know are trying to leave - extreme burnout, putting up with a ton of abuse, being way underpaid, highly political environments, etc.

Teachers are so underpaid and under appreciated. I genuinely love working with kids, but I realized that I pour so much into my students I have no energy to give to my own children and family. I also wouldn’t be able to support my family with $35,000 without a significant other.

Both of those careers are so, SO burn-out prone -- take good care OP!

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.
