I am applying to an accelerated BSN program that begins next June. I believe I have a good chance of getting in.
If I am accepted, I would need to quit my job. And there is the trouble....
I feel like my husband will not be in board with this. I already have 45k in student loans, and will need to take out another 25-30k for tuition and living expenses for the 1 year BSN.
Personally, I feel the 75k total debt will be worth it, both for having a job I love, and for the increase in salary from what I am making now (45k) to what I can safely assume I will make as a nurse (65k to start - NYC).
My husband FREAKS when he hears about more debt. I am really despairing of having to "talk him into" me going to nursing school.
Has anyone else been in this position?
We have no children, are in our mid-30's, and I just feel like if ever there was a time to do this, it's now.
