Hi everyone :)
My number one goal in life is to be a provider, i finished my BSN last year november and i'm still very excited that I'm just 2 graduate years away from that goal.
My initial plan was to go straight into the msn program after the BSN, now I'm questioning if that's the smart thing to do. My main problem is i don't know if i want to go in debt considering i had originally planned on getting a student loan.
Im 23, single and no kids, my mom funded my BSN so i'm currently debt free. Now im contemplating 3 options; work 1 year and save half of my tuition and get a 17k loan for the other half or 2 sacrifice and work 2 years save the whole tuition or 3 just getting the whole loan now and pay it off in 2 years getting FNP.
Would be open to some advice! My problem is im very eager to start!
Thanks
Akeem
Edit: also the tuition is 37k to 40k
