My title is Sales Engineer, but I have limited engineering training.

As of Monday, I am officially an nursing student.
This is a running "debate" (for lack of better terms) between me and my gf. I'm an engineering tech, working M-F 8-5:30. She's a pediatric nurse, with rotations to nursery and OB, working 12 hour shifts, with a string of night shifts thrown in every 3-4 weeks. During that crossover, if she takes 1 day of PTO, she ends up with over a week off. She never fails to jab me during that time, "I don't know how you can stand to work 5 DAYS IN A ROW like that."GREAT choice. It's a really good gig. I made almost ten grand a year more my first day as a nurse with an ADN than I did on my first day as an engineer with a BS. Lots of career choices.
If you do actual patient care, do everything you can to get on a unit that does 12 hour shifts. Working three days a week, FTW! I will NEVER go back to the "M-F, usually OT on Sat, even some Sundays" lifestyle that factory engineering pushed me into.
I live in a town that sees hundreds of geology students on spring break every year, mostly visiting Carlsbad Caverns. This afternoon a busload of them from Ole Miss came into the grocery store I was shopping and headed for the beer cabinet. I was shocked to see one guy grab a sixer of Ballast Point, the rest went for the PBR, Bud Light and Corona. They turned out to be geological engineering students, not real geologists.
