Nursing as a Second Career
Attracted by strong demand, healthy salaries and prospects for more meaningful work, many mid-career workers -- including some men -- are giving nursing a closer look as a second career. So how do you get there from where you are?
Whether you decide to be an LPN/LVN or RN, you can find a nursing program that's suited to your current educational level and time frame. Once you've gotten your education and license, what can you expect on the floor? Along with the rewards that come from caring for patients, you'll likely experience a few letdowns common to novice nurses. You'll also face -- and learn to handle -- on-the-job issues you may not have encountered in your previous career.
