[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my friend went from law to nursing at 40. She saved up a ton to pay off her law school loans and be able to pay for nursing school debt-free, and also took night classes to get the pre-reqs done (while practicing law). It was intense but she's very happy now. I think it's relevant that she was single at the time; it was hard but it would have been impossible with kids, IMO.[/quote] I was not a lawyer but I worked full time while taking nursing school pre-reqs then also full time during nursing school. I went to a community college nursing program that was well regarded in the area but offered the flexibility my family needed (Saturday classes). Granted my full time job didn't have the stress or long hours notoriously lawyers have, but still it was a lot since I also had a newborn when I started nursing school. You can do anything you put your mind to.[/quote]
