Any prior Nurses as RE Agents?

William Huston

Posted

I recently graduated school as an RN and got my License in the State of Florida, since starting the new career field after serving in the military 12 years, i am starting to question my choice in this profession. I come home from long 12-14 hour shifts on my feet, averaging between 22-30k steps according to my phone very sore and wore to the point of being unhappy. I went into Nursing because when i was in the military and we were sent to support humanitarian situations i worked closely with contract nurses and they always told me i would make a great nurse, after getting out of the military i pursued the profession and now i'm questioning it.. Back when i was deciding on what to do i was debating between real estate and nursing and this was around the time when the market was very stale and many of the RE agents i knew growing up were struggling in the profession... so i went the other route for stability.....

My question is this, how many peeps on here are prior nurses that switched over... dont get me wrong i enjoy the nursing profession in regards to helping people, but i feel that my body cant handle the labor as i had 5 knee surgeries while in the service and boy my knees have been crying since becoming an RN along with my back with heavier patients and my mental state with the annoying or aggrevating patients who just dont care....

Also what do yall do when your not able to sell, to maintain a sustainable living between houses?
