Nursing to law school? need advice on career?

HELP! Im having a junior crisis where I dont know what I want to do. For a while I wanted to do nursing but then I also wanted to do biochemistry because I wanted to go into medical school. Then I decided it would take too long and I dont come from a rich family where I can pay back those loans. Just recently I thought about being a patent lawyer but law school still takes a lot of money. I still have a lot of credits for nursing and I would just need 2 more classes. Is it possible to go to nursing school, be a nurse for a few years to make money and prepare for law school then be a patent lawyer? But also to be a patent lawyer I would need a degree in a science ( biochemistry). Could any one in the field give me some advice? I thought of nursing while I work on my second degree, What do you think?
Has anyone ever done this? I know theres lots of people who had another career then went to nursing. What is it like to be a nurse? Im just afraid of cleaning crap !

so do u mean go to nursing school, work on a second degree in biochem then while im a nurse save up and study for law school?

Just follow your heart!!! To be a nurse you have to like it. You have to be a very patient and caring person to be able to take good care of sick people. It's a rewarding career but you do have to do a lot of unpleasant things. In nursing school you will have to clean bed pans, change diapers and give sponge baths. Once you get into the real world it's very seldom that you have to clean a bed pan. That's just part of taking care of people that can no longer do things for themselves. You seriously have to have a love for people and really want to see them feel better because after-all that's why there are nurses. Just look deep into your-self and find your destiny. Just don't go into nursing to make good money do it for the love of the patients. You can't put a price on them. If you go into something your not going to be happy with you and the people that you work with will be miserable and you don't want to be in that kind of situation. Good luck!!!!

BECOME A NURSING PUBLIC ATTORNEY.
OR WORK FOR THE OPPOSITION, DISTRICT ATTORNEY

You really couldn't have picked two more diverse suggestions. Nursing really isn't a career, it is more a vocation.long hours low pay are just two of the drawbacks. many find nursing worthwhile because they are empathic and caring people few go into nursing for the money. Law? well by its very nature it has become a heartless and somewhat jaded proffession. you may be able to combine the two. what about trying a research chemist or biologist and studying a way to promote and protect what you discover? I wish you all the luck in the world in your endeavours good luck and good hunting. my advice is. if satisfaction is what you want go for nursing. if it is money then choose law.

Hi,
Let me start by saying if you got this far then you might as well finish... on the other hand nursing is not a career you choose just for the money. you must like dealing with sick and most of the time angry patients...also prepare to work weekends, holiday and sometimes overtime wether you like it or not.. most nurses are highly stressed from work. every nurse i worked with and met DID NOT like there jobs.. if you really want to be a lawyer....finish nursing school then save money to go back to become a Lawyer.. you first must know what you really want to do in life....the good thing about nursing is flexible hours.. i worked in nursing for 2 years....i went back to school (still attending) to become a Physical Therapy Assistant, they make more than a LPN but a little less than a RN but the work environment fun and stress free....i LOVE it... have you ever looked into Physical Therapy? What ever you do go for what you see your self doing for a while....school is very expensive no matter what your major...
good luck :)
