I am married and have children. Any advice?

Oh yeah, I am over 40, but young at heart!!

THANKS

My advice is to look for a different program. I'm in a direct-entry MSN and it runs about $12,000 start-to-finish.

Being 40 would make you the 5th oldest in our program so don't sweat that part...

Which direct-entry MSN programs are ya'll looking into/attending? That's definitely a path I'm interested in but I havent' been able to find much info about these programs. Thanks!

Hi,

I think this would be a great idea! I am 27, married with one child and with a BS in Business Marketing and will be starting my prerequisites this summer. If it were not for this website, I could not have made the decision to go back to stop working and attend school full time. Allnurses.com has been a valuable resource for which I am grateful.

I think that we should stay in contact on this site, as we going through similar issues.

I know that as I progress through this process it will be nice to have support.
