Wow. I'm so sorry to hear this and I hope things get better for you. And this is actually my biggest fear....going all the way through the program and it ends up not being what i wanted.

O wow. You guys have given me so much info and I'm going to narrow it all down to thinking everything through and exploring my other part-time options and I'll even look into community colleges and I'll make sure that nurse opportunities are abundant in my area. @ Hawkins RV....thank you so much for the links and i'll look into them all. Thanks alot to all of you guys!

I'm very interested in starting a 28 month long RN program at Radian's college in DC. However, I'm a single mom who works full time and has her own place and a son so rent, bills, and a baby and myself. Oh yeah and a cat! lol The first year seems do-able because class is only two days a week so I can still work and make money to do what I have to do. However, the second year is more intense and I'm up for the challenge and its accelerated so I know its going to be fast-paced but my concern is how am I supposed to work, pay my rent/bills, and take care of my son and still achieve my career goals??? Unfortunately, I dont have family that I can live with while I go to school. Is there anyone out there that has been or who is in my situation? How did you handle it??? Any suggestions? Thanks! :)
