I've googled this question until my eyes are googly. Does anyone know if any Registered Nurses currently serve in US Congress?

I read that Karen Bass is now a Physicians' Assistant. Was she a nurse first?

I had thought I heard in her campaign through one of the nursing organizations that she started as a nurse first but her web page just lists USC for PA.
