Chandler’s Answer

I have two friends who were in exactly the same position. One was an ER nurse and the other was a OB nurse. The ER nurse decided to pivot to emergency management and was able to work for a federal emergency management organization. He did this through pat-time military service then full transition of his civilian job. My other friend was interested in non-shift work that paid better. She worked with the IT department of her hospital on a project for IT transformation at a new hospital. Her knowledge of nursing was valuable in shaping the IT user experience. She eventually moved to hospital IT full time. Do you see the similarity? Small steps towards their passion while maintaining their connections and income.

Chandler recommends the following next steps:

Take time to ask yourself the 5 why's to figure out what you are passionate about. (This is a well-documented technique you can find from your chosen reputable source)
once you know what your passion is in show an interest and start talking with people within your network or one degree of separation away. Use an introduction from yrou network to start the conversation,
Keep in touch and look for any opportunity to get involved in your passion and an opportunity will present itself.
Take small steps towards your pivot and it will become a full time opportunity.

Folayemi’s Answer

Your instinct to combine nursing with AI is actually a very smart move, as it is one of the most valuable combinations in today's healthcare landscape and you do not have to choose between the two.
Given your demanding schedule, the key is to start small and stay consistent. Google's AI Essentials course on Coursera is an excellent starting point — it is beginner friendly, self-paced, and designed for people coming from non-technical backgrounds. From there, I would encourage you to explore AI applications specific to healthcare, such as diagnostics, patient monitoring, and clinical decision support, as this is where your nursing knowledge becomes a distinct advantage over someone coming purely from a technology background.
You do not need to dedicate large blocks of time to make meaningful progress. Even three to four hours per week, done consistently, will build your knowledge significantly over the course of a semester. The goal right now is not to become a tech expert overnight but to develop enough AI literacy to position yourself at the intersection of healthcare and technology, which is exactly where the industry is heading.
You are clearly driven and forward thinking — that alone puts you ahead.
Are you more interested in the technical side of AI or more in how it is being applied within clinical and healthcare settings?
