Thanks for the reply. I live in Texas. If I look on the job boards and even in the newspaper there are jobs asking for nurses all over the place. Maybe these are all looking for experience and that is the key to any job I assume is to have the experience so that someone will want to hire you. Thanks again for the reply.

Hello, My name is Paul and I'm hoping some here can give me some advice and opinions. Long story short is My age is 44 and I am currently making 90k per year as an IT person but have very little college. I'm burnt out as I've been in IT for nearly 20 years and would like to do something else. My sister is a Dr. and I have a yearning to help people. I'm also a health nut and enjoy medical things. I'm thinking about going to college and getting my ADN/RN. My questions are this: 1. Is it possible to make my current salary of 90k per year as an RN? What route would be the best to take to get there? I think I would enjoy critical care and ER work. Also possibly OR nursing. 2. Is what I'm asking feasible? It's been a long time since I've been in school. I'm a smart guy but I've struggled with math in the past and it's been a long time since I've done any math. Thanks in advance for your help and advice!!!
