Hi Tim, No, I only have 40 college hours. I live in Denton county. Why would I want to be a nurse? C'mon....

Rio, Thanks for responding! You say you took as many night classes as you could. When you were downsized, is that when you did the fulltime nursing school....a-la, the 06:30AM-02:30 school shift? Is the idea of night shift nursing school non-existant? Thanks in advance, Jeff

Hello Gentlemen, I'm new to the forum. My name is Jeff and I'm 42 years old. After being in the IT field for 20+ years, I'd like a career change and would like to be a nurse. However, I cannot quit my job to go to nursing school fulltime, since I need to support my family. When I first began researching nursing school options (and I really know so little about it), I thought I could take night courses here and there until I acquired enough credits for the degree. How wrong I was. It doesn't matter to me if I get a degree as an RN, ADN or LVN. What options do I have besides quitting my job and attending nursing school fulltime? Is there any hope for a guy in my situation? Guys like me - how did you do it? All advice is welcome Thank you so much in advance and regards, Jeff from Dallas, TX.
