I would go to nursing school and work part-time since the money will take the stress of how you will pay for everything but if you can't just go to school. I worked all through out my prerequisites and my bachelor degree in another major and I only am leaving my job now because I will be going to nursing school everyday besides the weekend. I am thinking about applying as a nurse tech or CNA my second semester of nursing school. The first semester I just want to focus on school without any distractions, since its an accelerated program they advised us not to work the first semester since it is the most credits.
Finish while you are still young! I see so many post on here of people in their 50's asking if they are too old to start. I'm only a few years older than you but a regret of mine is focusing too much on work and changing my major from nursing. If I had took it more seriously and worked less I would be a nurse right now. On my 24th birthday my mom gave me a wake up call. She said "Happy Birthday, you're getting old now and the clock is ticking. When are you going to do the nursing program?" Obviously I'm not old but I didn't want anymore time passing me by as everyone is happy in their careers and I'm just stuck at my job that I'm not in love with. Good luck with school :)
