Sounds like U need to work and go to school at the same time. Some programs have weekend and evening classes. U could take as many classes as you can in a Distance learning program, might be able to test out of some nursing classes. Maybe you could get an LPN first, it will take you a shorter period of time, then you could get a good paying job as one and continue on for your RN. Thats what I did.
Unless you have a ton of money upfront to pay for your education most people have to take out loans to finance it. I would like to go on for my MSN and wonder if the debt I will have to incur will be worth it. Let me know what you figure out. Byh the way what state are in in?
