I've been in an arts degree for five silly years. My grades are very good, but I just don't want to pursue anything philosophy related anymore. For the last six months I've had this nagging feeling that I'd really like to go into nursing. I've surpressed the urge, since I do get kind of impulsive, but it's still there. I'm thinking more and more that I really need to do something meaningful and useful with my life...something physical, structured, challenging... The more I study ethics and pragmatic philosophy, the more I think "If I really believe in these principles, I should be out there doing something, not writing essays about it." I don't have the brains or focus for grad school.
I worked at a vet hospital for three years, and a farm five years before that...I've seen lots of blood and awfulness. I know I have a strong stomach, and I don't shy away from hard work. I think I'm good with people...
So I know there are some nurses on here, or former nurses. Any advice? I know it's a bit different in Canada...Still, all the people I've been talking to make it sound like a good idea. Our country really needs medical staff, and with the average age of a Canadian citizen at 55, I think it's only going to get more demanding. I know I'll have a job, and I've heard the unions here are tight. Any ideas for me? Anything I should know or take into consideration? Thanks everyone!
