I'm contemplating a career change to nursing. I will turn 50 next week.

I had been in corporate accounting for about 25 years. My company closed its business last year, and I was preparing for a career as a financial planner. I have a B.S. in Accounting and an MBA degree. I also am a Certified Fraud Examiner, and I passed the Certified Financial Planner exam last November. At this point in time, I think I may be tired of working with numbers and am looking for something that would be completely different.

I still feel very young at heart, and have an attitude that it's never to late to attempt something like this. However, I want to be practical, too.

Any advice on how easy it would be to get a nursing job, the best kind of nursing education to get given my background, etc. would be appreciated. I live in Greensburg, PA which is southeast of Pittsburgh. Thanks for any advice that can be provided!
