How do I get started as a nurse with different experiences?
I used to want to be a pharmacist. I graduated a four year university and my grades weren't that good so I need to go to community college to retake some classes. I finally got a job as a pharmacy clerk after 3 years of unemployment after graduation, and I'm also a pharmacy volunteer at a hospital. After working at a pharmacy for a few months, I learned that pharmacy isn't a good field to enter right now and that I should become a nurse instead. I appreciate them looking out for me but I'm not sure where to start. I am again thankful for finally getting pharmacy experience after 3 years of unemployment after graduation. But, realizing that what I wanted for awhile isn't all that it's made to be, I'm confused on what to do, how to get started in this new field or how to transfer what I know or spent what I thought I wanted, to something else.
