What type of volunteer work did you do and how did you find it?

Where is a good place to find patient centered volunteer opportunities in santa monica?

Does anyone know more about doing ADN and BSN? I thought the ADN was being phased out since most hospitals will only hire BSN (I'm in california)

I'm 33, female, and looking for a career change. I'm interested in nursing, but I'm trying to figure out if it is financially feasible and if I can find the time to complete the degree. I'm married and likely going to have kids soon. (We are hoping to have two kids in the next 4-5 years). I graduated from UCLA BA and have none of the science pre-reqs, so I would have to start from the very beginning. I had a good college GPA and also graduated valedictorian of my high school class. My husband and I have bought a house in santa monica so I'm geographically bound to this area. SMC and UCLA are the two closest schools to me. Would love to get a feeling for how much time/money it would cost to become a nurse vs the pay/schedule of being a nurse. Is it too much to juggle having kids, taking on student debt, and changing careers in your 30s? Are there other jobs to consider? For example would it be easier to become an ultrasound tech? Would love to know what the job prospects for nursing and other medical field jobs are like in this area, If I started now I'd likely finish school and have two very young children right as I'm looking for a job.
