If you really are sure that nursing will agree with you from here on, then I vote yes. Like everyone else I think the amount is high and you could do things to lower it a bit, but that's not what you asked. Life is too short to be stuck in a 40K a year job. Ooof! I just realized this is a years old thread. I wonder what the OP did?

I'm not a nurse yet, but hopefully that will change in less than a year. ? Im 42 with a previous BS degree. I had little respect for nurses until nursing school. But Holy Crap!!! Nursing school is the biggest challenge I've ever faced! I couldnt even imagine tackling it if my kids were small. Many of my friends with little ones have failed out. I know people do manage, but the toll for failing is a heavy one. I think you're probably smarter than you give yourself credit for. You're obviously wise for considering all your options before making a decision. Best of luck!

Feet... clean feet, dirty feet, crusty feet, feet that flake skin everywhere when you pull a sock off, Wal-mart feet, fungus feet... just no... I can't... no. ?????????

Pretty sure you climbed into my brain and typed my thoughts out. I would say we go to the same school but I'm in 4th semester with two more to go. You can do it! Just... power... through ?
