Dear NLanders,

Advice needed. I hold a first degree in Microbiology, an MBA and work with one of the foremost banking institutions (4years and counting) here in Nigeria. From the outside, I've got a good deal. Good work ratings, a recent promotion , Suddenly (call it mid-20s crisis) I have begun to entertain thoughts of resigning from a 'good' job and relocating/travelling to study nursing in Canada, and yes, with no plans of returning to Nigeria! One or two people I have had to speak with think it's foolhardy, but a growing disconnect with the country, it's hapennings and a seeming lack of challenge on the job are nudging me towards that path.

Sometimes, I seem a little too scatter-brained, even to myself. It gets depressing as the days go by.

I'd appreciate some candid advice. Are the pleasant tales of fat earnings by nurses abroad really that rosy? What are the odds I will be faced with?

Follow your heart, if you have the Money to relocate, find a good school of nursing online or through someone that lives in Canada and the apply. With your cash in your acct, Cana go give you Visa one hand. If you like remain or come ooh, he nor concern them, Cheers.

Hmm, I dnt knw abt canada, but, I can say for U.S.
The govt keeps advertising the need for nurses which in turn leads to a great supply exceeding the demand, so, the pay and demand aint what it is used to be before esp. as a fresh RN. I heard it was betr in canada, but, in the states, I dnt know if it is woth quitting a good job, remember, the grass SEEMS greener on the other side always
good luck dear!

You have an MBA with some good experience and you are looking to start all over again in nursing. Are you kidding me? Please slap yourself back to reality.

There's nothing wrong with relocating to another city/state/country. You should be looking at advancing your career. I hope nobody is drumming that "nurses make alot of money" crap into your brain. While they do, you put in lots of hours with little/no life. At your age and with your degree and experience, you are positioned to conquer your world.

In addition to what Delta said maybe you just need a BREAK, take a 3 months break outside the country if your job allows you
