Thanks for your article I can testify to everything you have mentioned. I have been in a Technical college since 2006 taking classes while working full time and finally in August I will be starting the ADN program it's been a long time coming. Unfortunately, I still have what around five semesters of nursing classes to take before finishing school. In the beginning what I thought was only a few years has become much longer. Your article has made me realize my outcome may have some restrictions I didn't plan for.
