I'm a 26 year old office professional looking to go to Nursing school. I work full time, no kids, and have been working in the medical field since my very first job at 15. I attended college about 5 years ago for 2 years but did not graduate, and dropped out since i basically had no direction and only attended classes i thought were "fun". Needless to say, I didn't do very well in college, although i did really well in High school.
I've decided to go into nursing since I've been in the medical field for so long and now I have a job that is willing to hire me as a nurse once I am done with school, and offers tuition reimbursement. I don't necessarily make a whole lot of money and absolutely NEED to work full time to support myself. Full time school is absolutely NOT an option. I figure I can afford to put myself through school with financial aid and tuition reimbursement.
So here's what I am getting at.....
I have read a lot here about the Trinitas program (VERY intense) and the Muhlenberg program. I was wondering if there are any of you out there who are presently going, or have gone to either one while working full time, and how accomodating either school is to part time/nights students.
I am also open to looking into any other nursing programs in the area that have a part/time night program.
Also....I was thinking about taking a few classes at Union county college to A) get myself used to going to school again, and B) perhaps get some prerequsites out of the way before I even apply to either Nursing school.
Let me know what you think!
