Best Use of VRNA Funds: CRNA School or RN/Rad Tech/PTA

Published

I'm in kind of an odd spot.

I am trying to use my VR&E Benefits to go to school. I was attending a local 4 year college and I applied to their Nursing program but didn't get in. Now I'm at a local community college and I have 5 options:

1. Apply to the RN program at the community college.

2. Apply to the Rad Tech program at the community college. (Will need to retake English 2, Gen Psyc, A&P 1, Humanities Elective or English 1-I got B's in all of these)

3. Apply to the Physical Therapy Assistant program at the community college. (Will need to retake English 2, Gen Psyc, A&P 1, Humanities Elective or English 1-I got B's in all of these)

4. Apply to the ABSN program an hour away. 

5. Apply to the second BSN program an hour away. (Will need to take Biology)

I'm open to any all suggestions. I'm at a point in my life where I realized that I cannot keep chasing my parents dreams over of my own (Even at financial costs because getting fired from jobs is also not making me financially stable). Nursing is something I want, specifically CRNA because I get to work with people on a one-on-one basis and I don't want to overstress because of my past mental health history as someone who has Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and I don't want the good work I've been doing to improve my mental health to be in vain. I want it to be for good. I want to help people. I want to help veterans. I want to help me feel more like me, good days and bad days.
