Considering a career change...
Hi everyone,
I have been contemplating a career change lately and have been interested in Nursing/Midwifery/Life Sciences/BioMedicine. My current career has me working in IT as a software analyst. Whilst I like my job and the people (most of them ;) ) that I work with, I just feel like something is missing. I feel like I want to do something that is more worthwhile to me and will give me a feeling of satisfaction and where I can really see results and the effects from my work.
So my mind keeps coming back to the nursing and health sciences areas. I have been reading uni and related websites like mad and my interest is getting stronger and stronger. I’m very analytical and I love to know how things work and as I’m getting older and have experienced my own health and life issues, I just think I’ve got to get out and do something more satisfying and exciting to me. I want to help people feel good and I want to find out more about the human body and life and health.
I guess I am after some advice and opinions….I would love to hear from any of you who are nurses/midwives or involved in life sciences etc to give me some thoughts and opinions about your jobs and what’s involved including both the good and the bad :) What are the career options in these fields, hours, etc?
Thanks in advance for your help :)
