How to provide financially for your family while in an accelerated BSN?

[Jeniya]

Hi all,

I currently hold a BS in Civil Engineering. While it pays good money, it isn't rewarding. I am wondering if anyone has made the career switch doing an accelerated BSN? Did you have children and a spouse? How did you make finances work? We live in NY where everything is extremely expensive. I've though about relocating in order to do this program but not sure if that is financially wise. I also contemplated taking about loans to cover my monthly expenses. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

I dont have any kids but I do also wonder about the financial aspect of going for this. I do not plan on working during the accelerated program. I worked through my MPH and I know that one nursing school will be alot harder, that there wont be time to work and that I want time to absorb the material as best I can. Are there sites you have all found that lay out some scholarship options or grants?
