Hi I'm Caribbean-American and I bought into the hype of getting a job in healthcare, but I don't it's for me, I like the job security but I feel like I could earn more money doing something else, any one ever felt this way?

Healthcare has si many levels. What do you do and what would you like to do? You may be able to jump around in healthcare instead of getting into a whole new field.

I'm a RN but on the administration team, my ultimate goal was to be a Nurse Administrator,

dont do it! stay in healtcare.. just move into something within the system. Its to unstable out here in the job market to play around with an industry you dont know.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
