Andi Gibbs, 25, made the career switch from flight attendant to nursing assistant over the past year.Even with the stress of the pandemic on the health-care system, Gibbs says the move has been good for her.
"My position basically runs the gamut," Gibbs says. One day she'll work in pediatrics, the next in an ICU step-down unit. Another day, she'll do a shift in the emergency department working with Covid-19 patients. Yet Gibbs remains undaunted. Along with work, she spends her time taking prerequisite classes online through a local college so that she can strengthen her application to programs to become a physician's assistant. Right now, she's taking an anatomy and physiology class, spending about an hour and a half after work each day studying and logging online for lectures.
