@all- I want to thank everyone for the feedback. To be honest I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do. I wish this decision wasn't so hard. I'm struggling with being a broke college student again and potentially having to take out loans. My stomach hurts at the thoughts of more loans. But I am going to look into the the VA loan repayment

I will be 28 tomorrow....lol. I currently hold a bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in behavioral epidemiology. Since I received my masters degree in 2006 each job that I've held I have worked with teams of nurses. Until I recently I never even considered being a nurse. Now its all I think about. I'm currently enrolling in a local university to complete some of my pre-nursing courses. Here is my problem.....I already have an enormous amount of student loan debt from my previous degrees. I need advice on financing a nursing degree. Most of the schools that interest me require a full-time commitment so I would have to resign my full-time job and resort back to being a broke college student. This worries me a lot! Please share any scholarschips, grants, loan reimbursement programs or employeers that will pay for my education. Since I already hold a bachelors degree I have to pay out of pocket for my pre-nursing courses. I anticipate that will be roughly $4000 or more. I want to know if someone can tell me the pros/cons of seeking a Associate nursing degree vs BSN. I really need to know the difference because it appears that the Associate degree is much much much cheaper. Thanks in advance for your feedback
