evening nursing school

[szccdw]

Why aren't there more evening/weekend nursing programs? It seems you can only find these in big cities. With there being such a shortage you would think some colleges would have come up with better ways to achieve the degree. Not everyone can leave their job and not everyone wants to take out student loans. I have many friends who want to get a nursing degree but it is not feasible for them to quit their day jobs to go to school (mortgage, kids,car notes and other obligations). I knew what I wanted to do and made plans so that I could get my degree (renting out my house and staying with a family member instead, applying for scholarships (5 of which i got)). If anyone knows of any programs, regardless where they are located, can you please let me know so that I can pass the word on. Thanks

San Bernardino Valley College in San Bernardino California.

The part-time program is 8 semesters and they only accept students in the Fall. Compare that to the full-time program which is 4 semesters with entry in Fall and Spring.

With all the budget cuts in the great state of California, I don't know how long it'll be around!!!

ditto for San Bernardino's part-time program.
