Hello there, I am considering a career change and going back to school for nursing. I will have to take all of my pre-reqs like A&P and Stats. I think I can take those in the evening and still work full time. Once I get to nursing school, is it possible to work? Full-time or part-time?

Hello Nurses, I am thinking about a career change and have decided on nursing. I'm posting this thread because I need some advice, so any tips you can provide would be much appreciated... I've been out of school for 5 years now, working as a graphic designer. I have a BA in visual communication. Nursing is something I've become recently interested in and thought I'd do a little research to make sure it's something I want to do. My questions, for now, are about school/training. Is it possible to get a BSN by going to night school? I need to be able to work full time in order to support myself. I am positive I will need to take several prerequisites before I can get into a nursing program. Those classes can be taken at night, but what about the ones in nursing school? How long will it take to complete nursing school? What is the starting salary coming out of school? When do you choose a focus? How can I spend the next few months preparing? I am excited to learn more and look forward to any advice. Thank you!
