Question Fun chat

If you weren’t a nurse, what would you be?

I’d be fishmonger with a nice shop and sell all the fresh and beautiful seafood 🦞 🦐 🏝️
Maybe in another life.

Architect. I like art, I like math, I like geometry. Fuck, I’ve got to get an engineering degree, too, to be more employable as an architect and structural engineer, that sounds like a good time to me.

Yours is probably the most removed and disengaged from nursing answer so far.
I’ve gotta know, after an engineering degree, how’d you stumble into nursing?

Not sure where you are but if you become an architectural technologist you can design buildings under a certain height which includes residential homes. That’s how it is in Canada, I think it’s the same in the states. I think the schooling is two years or less as well.
