thats fucked.
well your good science knowledge should make botany an enjoyable education, exciting.
yeah i'm pretty pumped, i took some college science in high school and knew the krebs cycle like no one's business back then. i would have pursued it, but ended up going into the military and was a combat medic so went that direction when i got out.
ER RN was a better fit then, but so much has changed with medicine that on a daily basis too much of what goes as "it's fine, that's just how we do it" was causing too many ethical conflicts for me. that's why they depend on new grads and old ass nurses with experience that live paycheck to paycheck to shoestring the medical system now. that and hospitals for the most part quit or greatly reduced investing in keeping their nurses educated in continuing education. i used to teach a bunch of certification courses (ACLS/PALS/ENPC/TNCC) and noticed a drastic drop off in enrollment in the last 5 years.
so i started doing travel nursing because ER shortages are pretty common. that made me like the job again for awhile, and taking home 3k/week never hurt anyone lol. it was good while it lasted, and i got some cool toys. now it's just time to learn a profession that i can provide for myself and never have to worry about employment again. being my own boss has always been the goal.
