Really OT - Any nurses out there?

[emily kates mom]

Hi guys,
I know this is totally off topic, but I thought that there were probably some nurses among us, and I have a nursing question. Through all of my experience with PE/HELLP, I have really had a desire to possibly become nurse. I'd love to work with other women who are suffering with PE/HELLP/bedrest like I did. This might be my second calling - who knows! I am so passionate about this, I think it might be a really good thing. Here's my question. I am currently a teacher. I have a masters degree in Elementary Education. Do nursing programs offer a training program for people who already have other degrees? Also, can you go to nursing school and have another job? (Well, let me rephrase that. Is it PRACTICAL to go to nursing school if you are working?)Does anyone think I am CRAZY?!?
Any advice you can offer would be helpful.

Thank you!
