I am doing my prereqs for the RN program, but am stopping for the summer to get my EMT-B. You can get a position in a hospital as an ER Tech with the EMT-B. They make a little more money than the CNA's and I believe will get more experience as well. It will also get your feet in the door, so that when you complete your RN, you can just move around instead of having to go search for a job. Some hospitals will even pay for your RN schooling. The pay that I am seeing for the position is anywhere around $12-$16 in my area, but you may want to do a search for the pay where you are at. It isn't much, but it should take care of my bills for now. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I too regret my past schooling venture. I dropped out of high school twice and vowed to never return. That was about 13 years ago. I have since straightened my act. I own a successful business, have 3 precious children and a wonderful wife. I am now at the point where I want to not have to worry about the company every waking hour (I even dream about it), and have been interested in nursing for some time. So I decided to go to school for it. I am currently taking A&P1, math, and english. I am enjoying school this time around, since it is something I want to do vs. something I am being forced to do. My advise, don't look into the past as it really has nothing to do with your future. Just learn from your mistakes, redo the classes you have to take again, and do it right this time around. Plus your grades should be much higher since you have been over the material before. Best of luck to ya!
