I would DEFINITELY look for a gently used Bernina machine. Or, if you can find a Bernina new for that price that fits your needs, that would be a good route. I love, love, love my Bernina and wouldn't ever buy anything else. :)

So my questions is... If you had this amount of money (with possibly the option to add a bit more) what type of sewing machine would you invest in?
Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Wow, wow!! Congrats to you!! It's a wonderful field & you'll always have a job. Nurses do so very much...
I like the Brothers & of course Singer is a good machine.
Just shop around, don't be in a hurry...

I agree with the ladies to get what is going to serve your needs. Don't spend the money if it's not going to be used. Me, I have 5 sewing machines and each one does something different. I have to admit 5 is to many but very often I'll have two machines going at the same time. Embroidery and quilting can be going at the same time. I must admit I retired a year ago and am trying to make up for lost time.

I just bought my second brand new Janome 9500 for $1399. It is a dream machine. If you get an embroidery machine, you will soon be hooked. All kinds of nurse designs for on your jackets, pant legs, etc. You won't regret it.
