A friend I used to work with left journalism a number of years back and went to nursing school. What a great plan, I thought. We had often commiserated about about the lack of really good journalism jobs in town (We had great jobs--but what would we do if something happened to our jobs? It might be hard to find another good one.)
She got another BS degree in nursing, and I went on to law school. I went back to school later than her, so she has been a nurse for a while, and I just graduated law school last spring! But it is funny how we both moved on, even though we both loved our journalism careers.
Nursing would be a great career because there is high demand and you would always be able to find a job. And demand for nurses is only going to increase. A lot of nurses call their own shots and get to work very flexible schedules. Can't beat that!
With everyone so busy these days, a lot of people are opting for online degree programs. One of those programs is offered by St. Xavier's in Chicago--MS nursing degree Their online courses are combined with a weekend of applied campus experience.
