Decorator, how to break in, can you make a living? Painting,consultant, nurse,writer?

I am an RN who left nursing due to an injury. Have you considered being a legal nursing consultant? You can use your nursing knowledge without the physical requirements. Or perhaps use your artistic skills to paint interpretive holistic concepts for patients, families in stress, hospitals, clinics, hospice, nursing schools etc. Maybe you could sell them on EBay - there is always someone out there looking for what you have to offer. Good luck on your endeavors.
