[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re physically strong and can withstand an intense/unpredictable work environment, I would recommend getting a nursing degree. I work in healthcare admin and we - and everyone - are desperate to hire nurses. Most places offer signing bonuses of $5-$15k. It can be lucrative but it’s a tough business. Anecdotally, my dad got his nursing degree around age 40 and just retired as a nurse manager after a 25-year second career.[/quote] How long does that take to get and what type of nursing degree would be best? Obviously, we older people would not be getting the BSN, right? [/quote] PP here, most programs are competitive (yes, two-year programs) and you’ll likely have to have certain science courses completed in order to be admitted. That said, you obviously can withstand the rigor of tests/school. Culturally, you have to be tough: the saying is that nurses eat their young. Your gender may be an advantage. [/quote]
