Anyway, to the OP, DO IT!! I am a certified teacher, (almost) licensed attorney, and I'm going to nursing school next year. And that's just the beginning! LOL! I know that people think I'm crazy (I think it too sometimes!!), but I love learning and I want to do something the benefits me in the long run. Just make a plan for yourself. Don't worry if people think you are nuts. It's YOUR life and you only have one to live.

I sound like you, minus the law school.

I too am a certified teacher and will be taking classes to get into nursing school.

I will go the BSN route. I figure most of my credits will transfer anyways. Plus, I am thinking of joining the Navy. They would pay for my BSN and I just have to serve 3 years at a training hospital in either Virginia, Maryland (Walter Reed I believe) or San Diego. Not to bad a trade off.
