I'm feeling a little discouraged right now. I have three classes that I need to take before being eligible for a local accelerated BSN program (I'm in the midst of the first one right now). I can't take classes this summer because I'm getting married and will be out of town ~ 2 1/2 weeks. I also feel pressure to continue working full-time to help carry my part of the weight. I can't go down to PT at my current job, and would almost certainly take a pay cut going anywhere else. So...that leaves me taking one class at a time until I finish all three classes...approximately a year and a half from now before I can even apply for the program! There's also no guarantee that I'll get into that program, and, for the other accelerated program in the area, I'd need 6 pre-reqs. (as opposed to the three for this program). UGH! I'm 25, and feel like I'm too old for this. My fiancee is supportive, and we could probably live off of what he makes with me having a part time crappily paid job, although it wouldn't be easy. Should we just bite the financial bullet?
I should probably also add that I took on the CPR training for my company, and they just paid $500 to have me trained as an instructor--I'd feel pretty guilty leaving shortly after they made that kind of expenditure.
