Thanks Suzanne4, Ive thought about this alot and I really do want to be a nurse. So I looked at St.Agnes, C.H, and Community and they all have new grad programs, hopefully this will be the same when I finally finish school in a few years. Im very confident right now that it will all work out.

The best thing too do is keep your eye on the prize and imagine yourself when your all done with school and working, how proud of yourself, you will be and how proud your kids will be of you. Do you really want to have another year go by and be in the same place as now ? Forget all of those ppl who dont believe in you. I understand you very much, Im a single mom of 3, and no friends in my area. I'd forget about the guy completely, you broke up for a reason, and if he's living with him mom he's got nothing going for him in the first place. See your on your way to fufill your dreams and he's living with his mom, thats a yay for you !

At this point, it doesn't seem worth it. Im actually from the bay area and would like to move back. It would take anywhere from 5 to 7 yrs to finish school, with that time i could get a BS for sure or even a MS, in something else. Rethinking Nursing !

I have a cousin, who's sister in-law went through that program at/or at a different school, they live in the north bay area, so it maybe it's the same school. Anyways, I know it cost alot of money and not worth it, at all ! She now wants to purse an AS or BS degree but none of the classes transfer to a community or state college, so she will have to start from the beginning. Not worth all that money at all, thats what we think.

I have been reading alot of treads and it seems like there are alot of new RN grads and not enough jobs, can this be true ? Well this is my situation, Im a 30 yr old single mom of 3 and live in Fresno, Ca. I would love to be a nurse, but I have to be sure I will have a good paying job to care for my family, not to mention all the time it will take to go to school, it will need to be worth it. I have some GE classes done and some preq's but none of the science's. Anyone here going to school or working in Fresno, how long did it take to get into a program (city or state) and how long did it take to find a job and what was your starting pay ? Please Help and Thank You all who respond.
