    Pharmaceuticals, I suppose. Maybe Medical Engineering, if you're into calibrating all sorts of machines.
    But I don't know what you can do lab-wise with a degree in Nursing. I'd look into doing another degree of some sort.

    Many medics in hospitals have their own research labs and I know some nurses who have worked to gain either a research msc or phd in these labs. Speak to some medics who are researchers and whose area you're interested in. They may take you on.

    I saw an add on the DCU website today looking for people with nursing backgrounds for some type of research / research officer role. Might be worth a look to see if its something your interested in.
