I current have a BS with a major in accounting. I’ve worked as a staff accountant for a couple years and have previous experience as an intern and clerk. I’ve also worked at my local hospital in different entry-level positions.

I’m beginning to realize I’m not happy with accounting and am thinking of getting an accelerated BSN to become an RN. Has anyone gone the same route or know of someone who did? My desire is to help people, not profit off misfortunes.
