Deciding on a nursing school

[bmw804]

It seems I have a major dillemma and I don't know what route to take. I was hoping to apply to a direct entry 2nd degree program at Case Western Reserve, but I found out the other day that my science gpa is too low. 2.0. I got C's in my science courses. Most of the courses I had taken over 10 years ago. I am redoing my anatomy now, but I am looking at a B If I do really well on the final. Myundergrad gpa was 3.4. I really wanted to attend this school, b/c they will accept my financial aid as a graduate student. I don't have anymore undergrad aid left about $2000.

I was accepted into Ursuline program 2 1/2 year traditional which I think would be better for me, but I don't know how I am going to pay for it. I applied for the tylenol scholarship and a couple of other scholarships, but I don't know if it will be enough. I have found that the cleveland clinic hospital will assist with tuition assistance, but I have to agree to work for them $5000 for each year and the max is $10,000. I think this may be worthwhile.

Or I could return to my LPN program, I have 3 semesters left. I have been on leave b/c I am due to deliver my baby next week. I have been working full time days, but when I am on leave I would like to find a nursing assistant type job part time, so that I can focus all my energy on the nursing classes.

I just don't know what route to take. I have a mortgage and 2 other children. I don't know how we will make ends meet, but I think I am destined to finish a nursing program I just don't know which one.
