Any fellow advertising professionals think of making a career shift into nursing (RN, NP, etc.) with the high demand for nurses and high pay?

Absolutely not, nurses are just as overworked as we are. Especially with COVID. Watching my family members in healthcare and knowing what they go through on a daily basis this is a walk in the park

For me I know I’m mentally not cut out for it. Now, if I have a bad / off day, don’t sleep well, etc, what’s the worst that will happen? My video edit isn’t quite as good as it might have been? I’m not as careful choosing what take to use? I send an email with a typo? I just couldn’t live with my ‘off days’ literally meaning someone might die or I made a wrong call about someone’s health.

Definitely not, I have nurses in the family and while they have a clear sense of purpose, their working conditions and burnouts are much more severe than ours. They have my infinite respect but I'll keep to my desk job

I recently had a kid and had to stay in the hospital for a few nights and saw a few shift changes. There was definitely a big difference from when the nurses started their shifts and when they ended. These were some bad ass people, but they definitely looked rough by the end of their shift. It wasn’t some or most, it was all of them. Hats off, but I can’t do what they do.

I mean I fantasize about construction work sometimes but that’s what it is—a fantasy. Grass usually isn’t greener, ESPECIALLY nursing which is way more draining on more dimensions (physical, emotional, mental), strange hours, and literally life or death.

At the end of the day, we have a cushy desk job even if it is often frustrating and stressful.

Definitely trying to find a role that’s more in demand than mine. But I’m squeamish (I’ll faint!) so nursing isn’t it for me.
