Yeah I see where you are coming from. The BON is very vague in their emails. Have they been able to respond to you yet? 

Regarding the course, MedStar is very expensive its like 3 grand for the course, and an extra 400 to 500 for the books and clinical bag. Plus you have to get some kind of insurance when at clinicals or something. And they say that they can take up to a year to find you a clinical space. Although, I haven't heard any problems regarding that. 

But yeah it is a lot. I know that feeling, my nursing journey has not been very easy either and I cant believe I'm here even now. But just know that the program is only like 3-4 months and after that you'll be good to go. Maybe even faster since it's at your own space. Just a little more and you'll be done. 

I was reviewing my skills in preparation for job hunting, but my house was hit with a bad cold. Now I have it too. Part of me is ready to start working, but my other half is scared, since I don't have any experience. But if we are both here now, I guess it was meant to be. Just take it day by day, and do what you can today. The months will pass faster than you know.
