i know 2 people that made the transition from other fields to nursing. one was a GIS programmer, the other a paralegal. both women, both pretty intense, type-A people, both named some permutation of Catherine / Kathleen.

both seem to like it. one married a doctor she met during training, and is a surgical ICU nurse. the other works for the WHO and injects vaccines in the 3rd world.
