Can someone share how to become a Nurse or Nurse Anesthesis?

I attained my Journalism Degree with a Psychology Minor in 1986 and have been working in Finance and IT for the last 20 years. I'm looking to make a career change and feel a calling to the Medical field. How long will it take to get my Nursing degree? or I'm also interested in Nurse Anesthesist. Thanks for any info you can share to get me started on researching this.

well first off you have to have a 4 year nursing degree, and a lisc helps. then apply for 2 year masters program in nurse anesthesia. they look for experience when taking apps for specialty schools. alot of your other degree may cover for pre-req for nursing degree. there are also scholarships for ppl who want nursing degree due to the current shortage.
