Feel like a college may be taking advantage of my friend...
Who are you to judge? I barley graduated high school, was in special education classes, and have a learning disability. That was 1987, so many people judged me and didn't believe in me. Math made me cry, I was a bad speller...... In 2007 I decided to try nursing school (LPN) I was one if 40 people, we only graduated 14. I was valedictorian, and I'm a very good nurse. Thank you very much. I found Nursing to be my true calling, wish I had someone to encourage me when i was younger, it's never to late. I am now in an RN program, and holding a 4.0. I say be a true friend, and encourage your friend to follow there dreams.

How different is ASN vs. BSN?
Are you looking for easy? If so nursing is not for you. Every nursing program is intense . LPN,ADN,BSN If you are on fence about which path. Talk to nurses in your area, talk to students in your area. I think BSN at least should be your goal. You just need to pick your path. Good luck
