Thoughts on career change in your 30’s to healthcare (e.g., nursing)? Going on several years in public accounting and have comes to terms that this isn’t what I want to do for the rest of my life.

OP, I’ve been thinking the same too especially after covid. In my 30’s as well. The one reason I haven’t made the change is that I’d need to go back to school and have no income during that time. I’m not married so there’s no one else I can fall back on if I cannot get a job after studying nursing

Exactly in the same situation but I’m going to be getting married soon and plan to have a baby.

Do what you love. Screw societal norms.

I’ve thought about it. How much schooling would that require?

I’ve heard there are graduate entry programs out there for those with non-nursing backgrounds which requires you to be a full time student for 3 semesters and then opt to be part time in grad school while working as a RN. The only deterrent is all the prerequisites required before even being considered into the program.

Friend of ours did it. Took 18 months. She had a business degree and hated corporate life.

Correct.

My girlfriend complains to me everyday about all the Karens and their families that she has to deal with everyday. It was a big enough issue that she applied to nurse practitioner school to avoid bedside

It varies alot depending on state, in CA probably 110k-130k in the big cities. Note that nurses are hourly and NPs are salaried, so nurses make serious bank when OT kicks in. And they have plenty of opportunities to do so

Thats a hard job to a hard job. If I were you Id scope out a cushy industry job with nice coworkers and enjoy your life with all your new found time

MGH says prices are higher as we are a teaching hospital. It's just open loot and does not make sense. Anyone dealt with a similar situation.
