After being laid off from a job as an electrician, I realized that out of all my jobs, I enjoyed the medical field the most and found it the most interesting, so I decided to go back to school.  I found nursing appealing because there are so many different areas that you can go into.  Being a little older than most of my classmates, and doing a career change, job security was a factor for me too.<\/p>\n<p><b>Your favorite study snack is:<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;m not much of a snacker but was munching on dried apricots today.<\/p>\n<p><b>Your favorite app is:<\/b><br \/> <br \/>\nI don&#8217;t really use apps either &#8212; I&#8217;m kind of old school.
