I come from along line of RN's would have been 5th generation but I chose animals in stead. (don't whine as much) it is a good base my mom has added on so many times to her training and gotten all kinds of intresting and fun jobs,becoude she had her RN. In fact right now shes training for water arthrits therapy instructor. It helped her get out of the wheel chair she had been in for 2 years. She talked to the pool (YMCA) about it and becouse of her nursing training she was given a spot in a full up class. Be fore her heart attacks ended her career she was training to be the activities director at the care facilty she was working at. She had just finished doing restortive therapy training too.
It can take you to many different feilds of work, plus right now there is a huge shortage in most states . lots of places are learning if you pay well you get good staying help.
Go for it girl and enjoy it as an adventure.
