I teach high school math and want to become a nurse. So two questions really. First, does anyone know if there are any part-time programs out there - LVN or ADN (RN), so I could continue to eat while schooling? Second, since I am not in bachelor's degree mode any more, rather in real-world working mode, (know what I mean?), how would you complete a nursing program full-time - financially speaking - in terms of the personal expenses, even if your bills aren't huge? Work part time, with private loans to cover the rest? Will banks make loans for personal expenses while in school? (I did not take any loans while in undergrad) Not sure how this works. Thanks so very much for everybody's kind consideration and thoughts.
