Blonde bombshell Amy Toliver leads a double life to fulfill an incredible dream. The Phoenix resident sheds her clothes several times each week nightly at "iCandy Burlesque" in Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops and at the new SHe nightclub in Crystals. By day, she dons scrubs for nursing school to follow in her mother's footsteps to become a trauma emergency room nurse.

Good for her. I'm sure there are a lot of professionals out there with previous dancing experience.

If hitting that pole means she won't graduate with tens of thousands in education debt, more power to her! At least she can let her mind go blank and do something like med/dosage calcuations to keep her mind occupied! *LOL*

Great story! I admire those who are able to work to put themselves through nursing school, ending up with little to no debt and she has a scholarship as well. Hope that she is not disappointed upon graduation realizing that she will probably get more respect and make more money as a dancer.

Thank you for including the club she works at....
Seriously I dont see why it would matter how she gets the money to do what she wants to do.

I fully agree that she has every right (and should) to dance in order to pay her way through school. My only concern is that employers routinely do a web search on potential applicants. There is a chance that it could hurt future job prospects. If they do not like what they find then your resume goes to the bottom of the pile. Not that I agree with it making a difference, just stating how the real world works.

If you all think that is an interesting way to pay for school, how 'bout these future docs: Sex Work Among Medical Students On the Rise? - ABC News

Good for her but she's talking about continuing to dance after she's working as a nurse? I thought there were like behaviour codes at hospitals. You know they want nurses to be "Florence Nightingale" pure as the driven snow? haha.
I thought I heard of some nurse who lost her job for making her own website featuring herself in all her naked glory.. but maybe this is OK now.
