I’m considering a career change from emergency management (EM) into nursing so I can become a registered nurse (RN). I’ve been in the field a while and have experience in all governmental levels. Have some public health experience. My emergency room and healthcare related experience has made me want a more direct patient care role, but I’m wondering whether this transition tends to come together well in practice. Has anyone moved from EM into nursing, and did your previous emergency or healthcare experience help once you made the switch? I’m also curious whether it would be realistic to return to emergency management later, with RN training and emergency room experience adding to that path.
