Thanks everyone for all your advice.
There really isn't a way to go into the new career incrementally as it requires a specific healthcare certification that you either have your you don't. So I'm going for it. I will try to negotiate with my current supervisor first but she'd really be doing me a favor that is of no benefit to my current place of employment because the new skill set I'm going to school for doesn't apply in the current workplace.
