Hello, I'm a 32 year old male and I work in digital advertising in Silicon Valley. I've achieved success in my career, however; I don't find my career to be gratifying. I'd like to make a switch to nursing because I want to help people and I want the flexibility of geographic placement. (working in digital advertising, it's difficult to leave silicon valley). My question is what level of education is needed considering I've already acquired an MBA? Do I have to start from scratch and pursue a bachelors degree? I believe I've read that some schools offer accelerated programs but every time I search for information, I'm covered in results from 'for-profit' universities. Longer term, I'd like to pursue a nurse practitioner role but I understand that I should probably start as an RN. I'm looking into some volunteer opportunities so that I can begin to get exposed to the industry. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated.
