You mentioned an Anesthesia Assistant - another option that you might wish to consider with a great ROI - obtain a 2 year RN degree - get a job - usually the hospital will pay for your BSN - all online - then you could consider CRNA - a Register Nurse Anesthetist - RN’s can make upwards of $80-$100,000/annually - as a CRNA - $175,000 to $250,000. Just some food for thought.

It would also take the OP a year, maybe two to get into a nursing program and then the program is 2 years and a CRNA is an even longer program (again if you can get into the program). In addition most of the better hospitals want an RNBS, so add more time. If the OP is looking for a quick turn around nursing is not the way to go.

Great point - glad you brought it up! I was thinking more in terms of “reward” vs “time”.

No. OP has a bachelors and can apply to a one year accelerated BSN program. This is probably the best option actually.

So? OP is only 30. That's a solid 35 more working years ahead of them. Spend 4 years prepping and it's still a great ROI if they enjoy the work.
