Jobs/Vacancies › Re: At 31yrs : Should I Pursue Nursing For A Fresh Start? by lavylilly: 5:21am On Jan 05, 2025
Thank you for sharing your story with me. I can sense the confusion, overwhelm, and vulnerability in your message. I'm here to offer you honest thoughts and advice, and I hope it helps.

Firstly, congratulations on taking the first step towards pursuing your goal of studying Nursing by sitting for NECO. That takes courage, especially without a science background.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: your motivation for studying Nursing. You mentioned it's mainly for relocating abroad. While that's a valid reason, it's essential to consider whether Nursing is a career you're genuinely passionate about. Ask yourself:

- Are you interested in the healthcare field and willing to put in the hard work required to become a nurse?
- Or is Nursing just a means to an end (relocating abroad)?

If it's the latter, you might want to reconsider your motivations. Nursing is a demanding profession that requires dedication, empathy, and a strong work ethic. If your heart isn't in it, you might struggle to stay motivated and perform well in your studies and future career.

Assuming you're still interested in pursuing Nursing, here are some pros and cons to consider:

Pros:

- Nursing is a respected and in-demand profession globally.
- It can provide a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
- With your existing academic background, you might bring a unique perspective to the field.

Cons:

- Nursing requires intense academic and clinical training, which can be challenging without a science background.
- The program might be longer than usual due to your non-science background.
- You'll need to invest significant time, money, and effort into your studies.

Considering your current situation, here are some suggestions:

1. Take a step back and reassess your motivations: Reflect on why you want to study Nursing. Is it genuinely because you're interested in the field, or is it solely for relocation purposes? Be honest with yourself.
2. Explore alternative options for relocation: If relocating abroad is your primary goal, consider other options that might not require a significant career change, such as:
- Looking into visa programs or work opportunities in your current field (Media Studies).
- Exploring other countries with less stringent requirements for relocation.
3. Weigh the financial implications: With 4.8 million Naira in savings, you have a decent financial cushion. However, consider the additional costs associated with pursuing Nursing, such as tuition fees, living expenses, and potential relocation costs.
4. Seek guidance and support: Talk to professionals in the Nursing field, academic advisors, or a therapist to help you navigate your thoughts and feelings. Sharing your concerns with someone who can offer objective guidance can be incredibly helpful.
5. Prioritize your mental health: Don't underestimate the impact of depression on your well-being. Make sure to take care of yourself, engage in activities that bring you joy, and seek professional help if needed.

Remember, it's okay to take your time and re-evaluate your goals. Your happiness and well-being are essential, and there's no rush to make a decision.

Keep in mind that I'm not a career counselor or a mental health professional. If you're struggling with depression or need personalized advice, please seek help from qualified experts.

You got this, and I'm rooting for you!
MercySpeak:
Dear Nairalanders, please share your honest thoughts and advice.

I will officially turn 31 this September. I hold a B.A. and M.A. in Media Studies, and I currently work as a part-time lecturer while managing some side hustles.

Last year, I sat for NECO to write science subjects with the aim of studying Nursing mainly for the purpose of relocating abroad (I won’t lie).

Note: I don't have science background. Can I make it through with Nursing if I proceed?

Right now, I have savings of about 4.8 million Naira, but I’m feeling confused and overwhelmed. Should I proceed with pursuing Nursing? I’ll admit, I’m battling depression over this.

Your advice will mean a lot to me. Thank you!

Trading Plan

Your trading plan should always include these three fundamental principles:

WHERE
Define the zone of interest for entering a trade.
This could be a significant level, a graphical pattern, a round number, or any other key area.
You shouldn't open a trade "somewhere in the air," right?

WHAT
Identify the factors you want to see in the zone of interest before opening a trade.
For example:
- False breakout
- Stop-loss sweep
- Breakdown of order book liquidity

WHEN
Determine the specific market conditions that will trigger your decision to press the buy (long) or sell (short) button.
This is your reason for entering the trade.

Always focus on these three points when creating your trading plan.

Nairaland General › Ho Has 2024 Been For You? by lavylilly(op): 9:09am On Dec 28, 2024
2024 has been quite an eventful year! It was marked by historic elections, with over 60 countries holding polls, and saw significant changes in global leadership. Donald Trump was re-elected as President of the United States, while Mexico elected its first female president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

The year also witnessed its share of natural disasters, including Hurricane Helene and severe flooding in Spain. Furthermore, the Russia-Ukraine War continued, and the Israel-Hamas conflict escalated.

On a more positive note, 2024 saw several groundbreaking achievements in science and technology. NASA's Ingenuity helicopter completed its 72nd and final flight on Mars, and Google unveiled a revolutionary quantum chip that can perform 33.3 trillion years of calculations in just 1 nanosecond.

The world of entertainment also had its moments, with Taylor Swift wrapping up her record-breaking world tour and Beyoncé becoming the most nominated artist in Grammy history . The year also saw the release of several critically acclaimed films, including "Oppenheimer," which won several Oscars.

Overall, 2024 has been a year of significant events, milestones, and achievements across various fields.

A very insightful and thought-provoking question!

Hypergamy (the tendency to seek a partner of higher social status) and hypogamy (the tendency to seek a partner of lower social status) are not new phenomena. However, it's possible that various factors are contributing to their increased visibility and prevalence, especially among high-achieving individuals like Ivy League doctors and professionals.

Some potential causes:

1. Social media: Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter showcase the highlight reels of others' lives, creating unrealistic expectations and fueling the desire for upward mobility.
2. Changing social norms: The rise of feminism and shifting gender roles have led to increased emphasis on personal achievement and career success. This might contribute to hypergamy, as individuals seek partners who can match or exceed their accomplishments.
3. *Increased focus on self-optimization*: The self-help industry and wellness culture encourage individuals to constantly improve and optimize themselves. This mindset might lead people to seek partners who can help them achieve their goals or enhance their status.
4. Growing economic inequality: The widening wealth gap and increasing economic uncertainty might drive individuals to seek partners with greater financial security or social status.
5. Evolutionary factors: Some researchers argue that hypergamy is an evolutionary adaptation, as women (in particular) seek partners with resources and status to ensure their own survival and the well-being of their offspring.
6. Decreasing emphasis on traditional values: The decline of traditional values like loyalty, commitment, and community might contribute to increased focus on individual achievement and status-seeking in relationships.
7. Increased mobility and connectivity: Greater mobility, online dating, and social media have expanded people's social circles and exposure to potential partners, potentially fueling hypergamy and hypogamy.
8. Pressure to maintain a certain image: High-achieving individuals might feel pressure to maintain a certain image or status, leading them to seek partners who fit a specific mold or enhance their reputation.

It's essential to note that these factors can vary across individuals and contexts. Additionally, not everyone who exhibits hypergamy or hypogamy is motivated by these factors, and many people prioritize other values like love, compatibility, and shared goals in their relationships.
