I worked for a few years as medical-legal consultant and made $150 an hour and I could work as much as I wanted; I did most of it at home. So, it's just so diverse.
If you get bored, you could be a travelling nurse and go lots of different place and work at different hospitals all the time too.
When I graduated with a my major in German, Spanish, and minor in French and Italian, it wasn't like it is now....at that time, really the only places you'd be able to use it and be paid for it would have been the UN....now, there's so many job opportunities for people who can translate.....but I'm still glad that I got my RN...and I only did that b/c I really wanted to go to med school, and knew I'd have to pay for it myself (since my dad had just finished putting me thru a private 4 yr university  )......but I liked nursing so much and stuck with it. You'll never regret it I'm sure of that! |
I think i will like it...well i hope i do. Thank you so much, you gave me a lot of advice and ideas
I am excited but know i have a long road ahead of me
Oh and prob. no social life lol except my dogs, but they stick by me no matter what
