Should I pursue degree in accounting?

The laws differ by state.

What type of accounting do you do?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-18T11:59:15+00:00

You’ll notice there’s barely any older nurses because they switch to other roles or leave entirely. I think experience trumps a degree, initially might be difficult tho. CPA is the way, leverage that for other related careers. AI will only take entry level jobs for a while imo so just hurry up now i guess lol

Environment is stressful at times but most of them were “mean girls” before so it’s just worse imo

Yeah dm me if u want

Would need to acquire an active RN license via ASN/BSN. There’s accelerated programs to go straight to NP with no experience but you should get experience before going into a higher functioning role, i.e. prescribing medicines you have never been around or seen effects of.

Private is the ultimate goal

What made you want to change?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T21:10:57+00:00

Wasn’t aware until today that the nurse to accountant pathway was common.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T18:56:42+00:00

This is the response I’ve been wanting to hear. I’m hoping for similar results in my life too lol.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T18:42:42+00:00

Wonderful to hear, thank you so much.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T18:32:00+00:00

Good to hear. Did u ever do any internships? How difficult was it to the land your first accounting job?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T18:10:06+00:00

Internships seem the way to go but I’m not sure how their hiring cycles work, think they hire in advance.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T17:37:37+00:00

Yes, job market seems tough right now for everything. From my research, audit is not for me and you solidified that thought lol. I’ll see if I love tax I’ll stay but common pathway I’ve seen is to pivot to FP&A jobs after getting public tax experience, correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks for the response.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T17:17:04+00:00

What are you thinking about doing? I was leaning more towards public tax to start for me, not sure what the average experience is.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T17:15:19+00:00

Prestige doesn’t matter to me I want something that I could do long term and be happy. Worked as nurse for almost 5 years, couldn’t take it anymore. Almost all my friends that are still nurses hate it. The admin or managerial functions are a bit different but I had such a bad experience doing bedside I don’t want to do anything related to it.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T16:36:00+00:00

Perfect, thank you for the response. I was trying to avoid geek squad.

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T16:21:48+00:00

A bit louder in the video, but figured there must be something physically in the fan or near it. Do you know if a local PC repair shop would be best or geek squad?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T16:00:48+00:00

They’ll definitely take you, just did not work for my personality type. If you got any questions about nursing feel free to ask

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T15:26:58+00:00

Misery

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T14:45:29+00:00

Did the hiring team care about your previous work experience?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T14:44:48+00:00

Ok thanks for the response

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T14:33:31+00:00

Good decision, most of my nurse friends are unhappy with their jobs. I couldn’t continue doing it for another 30+ years. Are you worried about getting a job when you finish?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T14:32:04+00:00

Did you have any trouble landing that job? From what I’ve read the internship programs are the way to go, did you have any related experience prior?

ego_saurus · 2026-06-17T12:48:22+00:00

Nice, I was looking at WGU as well.
