How to start?

I am from the Philippines and would like to change my career path. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and had worked in several NPOs (Non-profit Organizations) before immigrating to the US.

I just got married and my husband and I are in a dilemma whether to have children first and study and get a career later OR study first and have kids later. If we do decide for me to be an RN first, how soon could I have it and how do I start considering that I have no experience in the medical field whatsoever. Help please :)

    If you go to a community college full time, you could do your prerequisites in a year and then the nursing program itself in two years. This varies from program to program, but this pattern is pretty common. You'll save money compared to going straight for your BSN and you'll be making money a full year sooner. This is what I am doing as a second degree student. ABSN programs are very expensive.

    Personally, I'm never going to have children, but if I did I would get my professional life in order first.
