I've been out of work for 3 months..my father has been paying all of my bills. I'm a 37 year old single mother of a 2 year old whose father won't help. I have no family here or a support system.
I need to take my pre-requisites to get into nursing school, and I thought I found a local community college that did distance learning so I could take my API and APII and Chemistry and be ready to apply for the Fall Nursing Class. Well, evidently they had a poor web designer, because when I was having trouble registering for the classes and found out that they were not available online.
To make things worse, I live in a large city and every single college around here only offers the Chemistry and AP courses MID-DAY...this makes it impossible for me to get my prereq's out of the way without working and I only have child care during the day and I have no one to keep the child at night.
I feel like such a failure right now, and I feel that I'll be stuck in a low-income job forever because the profession that I am currently in isn't hiring and I am not trained to do anything else (mortgages is what I do).
I would love to hear what others have done when there is no husband, grandparents, no one to help.

Here is a link to some state jobs with a nursing orientation.
