Prerequisites courses for nursing program

May I also point out that you have only been looking for a job since June. That's not a whole lot of time in the big scheme of things. Keep looking, you will eventually find something even if it's not huge paying right now. At least it's something. I'm also wondering why your school is seeing you as non degree seeking? You are seeking a degree in nursing. Many community colleges have switched it over to call it a pre-nursing degree or what mine does is classify you as Health Care Support, then you switch it over to nursing once accepted into the program. With your other degrees, you won't be eligible for grants, but if you haven't maxed out your federal loan amount, you should be able to get something for a little while while you are still looking for a job for income. Just some thoughts.

I'm going to advise against an entry level MSN program. Many people who are doing these programs are finding it difficult to find jobs because they have no bedside experience yet hold a master's in nursing. I fully believe doing the ABSN route if you can afford it will work for you, get a couple of years of bedside experience then go into the masters program and specialize in psychology. Then you will be a NP with psychology.

Please do not think you are getting old at 25. You are just beginning. I will be 40 in a few months and will be graduating in the spring with my ASN. Also, don't take so many classes at once, as you do not want to just get the classes done and end up with a crappy GPA. Nursing school is extremely competitive and only those with the top grades get in. Getting a C in a prereq will not cut it when applying to programs. It will be a complete waste of your time and money if your grades suck. Take a few at a time. I did take 5 my first semester, and 4 my second semester, but I did not have to work. Make sure you are managing your time well and good luck.
