I too have had my fair share of wanting to be a nurse blues..... I've been trying since '02 @ that time i was working as a cna and lived @ home. it's always going to seem hard obstacles are always going to rear their ugly heads but @ the end of the day the ? is how much do u really want it? go for it throw caution to the wind eat hot dogs,crackers,noodle soup to survive and my friend when those 4 years are up and school is over you will be a new person and have a career.:up:
