In this kind of recession, many people are going back to college to become a nurse. It will take them anywhere from three to four years to accomplish their goal. It might be a good change since a career in nursing is greatly compensated with job stability. Even though it seems stable with high pay but it’s not a career that anyone can handle. It’s a career that you can get burn out very easily and you might give up on it if you don’t like it enough. I used to work in the nursing field and I really like the stability that the job has to offer but it was depressing. This is coming from a real person who has worked in the hospital. I worked for four years and after that I vow to never return.

 I wanted something else that was fun. I like a nice, smelling office with a nice work uniform. I didn’t want to smell open wound, dead people and human waste. The reality of the job is that you will get all of those things every single day. You will have to smell open wound, infections, dead people, human waste, urine and blood. You will see many graphic scenes like dead people or severely injured patients. You might lose an appetite when you get home. You think about your job all the time, even when you’re at home. I didn’t like that part. I didn’t want to think about dead people or coming to see cancer kids who are dying. I wanted to see a happy crowd and I would take it for less money and less stability. I knew I would be happier.

After my four years in the hospital, I went to work in Hollywood and I loved every second of it. I get to dress up every single day and wear nice, colorful makeup. I get to wear heels, jewelry and perfume. I get to sit around in a lovely building with no dead people around. I did that for three years and I was happy. The pay was a bit less but there were more perks. I was happy and that was more important to me. I also got a chance to make the money too. It was a complete opposite of the hospital environment. I guess everyone is different but I preferred a happy working environment and even if it meant less pay.
