Thank you all for replying. Each comment was helpful. The BSN program I am considering is a one year second degree bachelor's. Cost is about $22,000 dollars for a January to January series of classes which is a lot for my family right now. One other complication is that I am in my early 50's - kind of old to go back to college for a bachelor's. However, my kids are in college so I have the time. I had almost decided to apply but then read some of the posts on this site. I would love to do something worthwhile, something actually useful, and something less chaotic and more disciplined than teaching which would provide a decent salary and in which I could progress through more education. Thanks again for the comments.

Before reading various posts on this site, I was seriously considering a career change from secondary education to nursing. However, after reading the many complaints ranging from grossly inadequate pay to vicious, on-the-job competition and back-stabbing coworkers, I think maybe not. Any comments or advice? Thanks.
