Can't help you in any healthcare advice, But i can say good luck. Healthcare can be very challenging, But very rewarding. It will be very different from the IT world you were in. But at your young age you should do great.. Again good luck and have fun with it. And if your single, Nurses are hot!  😎

At 28 years of age you have got a whole lot of living to do and if you can find a career that makes you want to get up in the morning and head off to work then go for it.
I've made some career (and country) changes in my time, and it has all worked out really well.  As a matter of fact I start a new job tomorrow after 20 years at my last - and I'm 61!
Sorry I can't help with any NHS advice, but you're on your first step and I'm sure you will do well.
Cheers

Hey fellow gamers,
I wanted to share a significant decision I've made in my life and seek some advice and support from this amazing community. After spending the last nine years in the world of IT, the past four of which have been increasingly unhappy and stressful, I've decided to pivot towards a healthcare career. And guess what? My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse!
At 28 years old, I feel like now is the perfect time for this change. I've just finished my Forensic Psychology BSc, which has been a fascinating journey, but I've realized my passion lies in making a tangible difference in people's lives, especially during their times of need.
The decision to leave behind a stable career in IT hasn't been easy. I've become increasingly short with people (I apologise if I have subjected any of you to that), and the stress has been taking its toll. But I believe it's time for a change, and I'm ready to take the leap.
Right now, I'm in the midst of applying for roles as a healthcare assistant with the NHS. It's a nerve-wracking process, but I'm hopeful that this will be the first step towards a fulfilling career in healthcare.
I know there are challenges ahead, especially considering the shift from IT to healthcare, but I'm determined to overcome them. And that's where I could use your help. If any of you have made similar career transitions or have experience working in healthcare, I'd love to hear your advice and insights.
And if you have any tips for landing a role as a healthcare assistant with the NHS or just want to share words of encouragement, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your support means the world to me, and I'm grateful to have such an awesome community to turn to during this exciting but uncertain time.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and here's to new beginnings and chasing our dreams, no matter where they lead us!
Cheers!

Sorry for your loss, GG and I are sending prayers for you and your family.

As you all know Dad passed away September 30/2023. Mom has been in a nursing home since August 2023. Dad and her were supposed to meet there but it was not to be.
On March 05/2023 Mom was rushed by ambulance to Emergency care. She was suffering from pneumonia, a UT infection and poor circulation in her legs. Mom passed away at 1:00 this morning.
Dad at 91 and mom 88 after 69 years of marriage they are together again. Their pain and suffering in now over.
Although sad our family is so happy they are finally free.
Cheers and Love to All.
