Brianna, the qualities you stated you have would make you the perfect waitress. Yeah, the job kind of sucks, BUT you will make your $500 week and there are no life or death situations. It IS a big change, if that's what you're looking for...It's also flexible so if you want to go to school while you're doing it, that's easy if you can handle both... Bartending is pretty much the same thing.

I was a veterinary technician for almost two years, which is a lot like being a nurse. I had to administer medications, assist in surgeries, do dentistries, deal with weird owners, blood, poo, death, etc. I got totally burnt out and miserable. I went to work at a donut shop for a few months. I can't remember ever being happier. I felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me. I was so happy knowing that the worst mistake I could make was to screw up a cup of coffee, no death, blood, poo, etc... It really helped and I didn't feel any less "successful", I was happy! It helps to just take a beak and get a new look on life- just make sure you go back to school and don't let your break become your life! (kind of like what I'm doing right now)...
