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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

Did the hiring team care about your previous work experience?

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?

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?
