[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your tangible skills?

Going back to school may not be ideal. [b]A nurse I'd a very physical job and starts lower than your salary.[/b]

There are many positions in a dr practice (manager, assistants, etc)[/quote]

This. Please take this into consideration in making your decision.[/quote]

If you are located in DC, a new graduate nurse makes more than your current salary. The starting rate at my hospital is $27 an hour, not including shift differential, holiday pay, overtime, etc.  You do have to rotate shifts and [b]the job is very physical.  [/b]I would suggest shadowing more than one person in the healthcare field before you make the decision to go back to school.[/quote]Yes, it's important to consider this.  My brother, who was a nurse, broke his back a year ago, and is struggling to survive.  He's on disability but that doesn't even come close to covering his bills.  He is now trying to figure out what else he can do at the age of 60 that isn't so physically demanding.[/quote]
