Major in Nursing and Masters in Theatre?
I am a nursing major and know that it is what I want to do. I love the idea of helping people and pushing myself in a responsible direction. However, I have an extreme passion for theatre and have done it my whole life. When I decided on a nursing major, I gave up theatre for my studies, but I am feeling extremely incomplete without it. My question is, is it possible to get a degree in nursing and then get my masters in theatre and acting ? Any suggestions and help is much appreciated!

Any MFA or Masters course in Theatre will require certain Undergrad courses and experience (they'll want to see that you've had roles in several productions since High School). Since you're not pursuing either right now, the chances of you getting into one of those programs are pretty slim.
If you just want to do Theatre, you can get involved in community theatre a lot of ways without paying for a degree. Since it's not your primary career objective, taking 2 years to get a Master's degree in Theatre could be an issue for your Nursing career. You won't be able to work as a Nurse while being in a Fine Arts Master's program - you'll have to have time to participate in productions in addition to all your courses and coursework. The way that most hospitals and offices schedule Nursing shifts, you won't be able to schedule around your school requirements.
