Looking for a nursing mentor: Rani's career change at 51
A mentor in nursing could help Rani with a portfolio, interviews and first-job strategy.
Anywhere in the world1,630 views
I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 9 years, and I'm 51. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into nursing, and I have completed a part-time diploma.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Ontario, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for six months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
Glad we found this place.
- effort
- 45 minutes a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- industry experience, patience, honest feedback

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hang in there, Rani. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Good luck, Rani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dammam.
Sending love, Rani. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Greetings from Jeddah.
Stay strong, Rani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Keep going, Rani. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Da Nang
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Love from Jakarta.
Rooting for you, Rani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Ikeja.
Hope things get better soon, Rani. Small businesses are the heart of Hamilton. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thanks for sharing this, Rani. Your post was clear and honest.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rajshahi.
Keep going, Rani. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
You're not alone, Rani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
thinking of you, Rani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Hamilton.
