Nursing as a Second Career - Don't Let Age Stop You!

Is it too late for me to start a career in nursing? In this episode of Life In Scrubs we get to hear the first-ever solo episode from our host Kristen all about her background and what led her to become a nurse! Kristen having worked in Pharmacy for 15 years before going to nursing school share's her experience feeling like one of the older nursing students in her cohort, and how pushing past that initial fear of being "too late" or "too old" to make a career change, has been one of the best decisions she has ever made! Tune in for advice on breaking past limiting beliefs and making the decisions that will move you towards your dream career!

02:00 How did you start your 15-year career in Pharmacy?

04:00 When did you begin working at a compounding pharmacy making medications?

05:15 Did you consider becoming a Pharmacist?

08:00 Did you have other nursing students in your program that chose nursing as a second or third career?

10:00 What advice do you have for anyone that thinks it's too late to start nursing school?

12:15 How do you feel having pushed past that hesitation of feeling like you were too "old" to become a nurse.

13:00 How has it been having preceptors that are younger than you?

14:15 Don't allow yourself or other's thoughts hold you back from your dream career!
