What do you think about nurses changing careers often?

I have been a nurse for 19 years (midlife change of careers from accounting) and I must say that I have run the gambit of jobs and specialties.  I have done a lot in my career and have seen a lot.  I think my experiences have made me a better all-around-nurse.  I am now a nurse educator and I find I can council students/patients better because I have pretty much seen it all/done it all.  I think my diversity has served me well (just wish I would have been diverse in one location for retirement purposes, lol).
