Got into a discussion with a fellow coworker of mine and just thought I would ask it here!
I was curious if anyone here was or if they knew of anyone who was a police officer as well as a nurse? Be it full time police officer and per diem nurse or whatever the case.

I want to school with an officer that became a nurse. Now that nurse works as a forensic nurse examiner.
Any idea if they worked in law enforcement while going to school/being a nurse or did they leave the entire profession to pursue nursing?

Greetings,
I am both. I started LE in my early 30's and was considering going full time. But at the time, I had a nice job, nice salary, and nice schedule. So, I decided to stay PT. I then later pursued the RN and am a FT Psych RN, leveraging my life and street experience in psych. I love it.
