I'm a nurse who loved statistics in college...

...is there a way to make a career out of statistics and the medical field? I know there is, but I have no idea what path is possible or what are common jobs for people in medical statistics, so any info is appreciated. Again, sorry if this is a stupid question.

Y-E-S is the short answer. Depending on the place you'll probably need to learn R (John's Hopkins has a great intro course on Coursera) or SAS (which I'd personally rather take a bleach enema than work with every day). 

You'll probably need a formal graduate degree to get your foot in the door (don't be fooled by bootcamps, nobody hires people who take shortcuts in subjects that require deep expertise IRL). A good stepping stone may be to ask about working on some research at your current job or asking for them to cover a graduate degree part time.
