My automatic answer is YES!!!!!, but I don't exactly have relevant schooling.

Also, from what I've seen I tend to clash slightly with psychology majors...I had a roommate in 4th year psychology and we used to have hours-long debates where she would eventually accuse me of being a reductionist (which to me is a good thing).

Why necessarily psychology? You can go the biology route, then take a grad neuroscience program, though I suppose this is nearly impossible to pull off while working as a nurse full time.

Yeah... I may end up doing it, or something like that. My mother and father are making bets with each other on me ending up back in school for a significant chunk of my life.
