Career change

Hi everyone,

This website has been awesome. I am a mother of two little ones and currently working as RDA (dental). I realized that I have passion for caring for patients and want that patient quality care and time. As an RDA I do not get that perosnal relationship. I work at a fast pace pedo office and as much as I would love to provide more care, we rush patient out to see everyone on time. I am a Navy vet and I am working full-time. I have done months of research and thinking if the career change is best. I have looked into several schools in the Sacramento area and close by, bay area, valley. All it the same with the waitlist. I don't have that time. I actually considered going the LVN route and currently taking preqrec. to apply this Spring for the CC route, but I am aiming for a BS degree. I don't want to go through so much more schooling than I need to, to do what I am passionate about. I recently found Chamberlain and inquired about it and it sounds great of course, but I like that it has a built-in core and GE into its program. I know a lot of negative feed about for-profit school and I have been warned and have warned people about profit schools, but I checked the accredition online and the are legit and basically only real negative is $$$ it is expensive. I calculated it and my G.I bill would over the first two years of school but I am going to have to pay out of pocket for te last year of school. I am just nervous and anxious to start... I just would like to know I am not alone or crazy to think of changing careers especially since I am 28 and I do feel old and I won't be able to compete.
