Hello all- I will be graduating law school in 1 year. 5 years ago I took my nursing school pre-reqs and was 2 weeks away from starting nursing school when I got another criminal conviction. All of my other ones were older so the nursing school was allowing me in, but since I got a new one they said it appeared as if I had not changed and told me I could not start school and to try back in a few years. I got a Bachelor's degree in Economics and am now in law school, just to realize that I really do like the clinical side of things. So, I am thinking I would like to get into risk management. Most Risk Managers had an RN/JD, so I will only be missing the RN part and some work experience in a hospital. The Master's program I am interested in had the A & P classes expiring in 5 years, but some community colleges extent that to 7. So if I got into a community college after law school, I would be just in time not to have to re-take my A & P courses (which I got "A"s in). My nursing school pre-req GPA is 4.0 and my undergrad is 3.9. In addition, I am in the top 1/3 of my law school. I did not think I wanted anymore schooling, but this profession really feels right. Any advice, positive or negative, would be greatly appreciated. (Please do not focus on my criminal record, I know it is a case-by-case basis so there is nothing to be said there). Thank you!
