I am in the exact same boat! I don't know which route to take. I have my bachelors but my local accel BSN program is 1 year full time and $30,000. Plus you cannot work. I took prereqs in 2010. Still digging deep to decide!

just wondering what nurses make in NJ?

I appreciate your response and at the end of the day you are probably right! I see you are in your second semester. Is it nursing school? Do you like it? I really enjoy hearing other stories like my own!

I am in my early 30s with a family. Graduated with a BA and have been doing office work ever since. Nursing was my original major and I dropped it because I didn't like my first science course (biggest mistake ever). I am revisiting nursing now and looking to apply to a 12 month accel BSN program soon. I spent all of 2010 balancing work, family, and school in order to fufill the prereq courses that I didn't take as an undergrad. There are many reasons why I think nursing is a good field and fit for me BUT I am starting to wonder if now is the right time. Am I doing the right thing? Hearing lots and lots of layoffs and RNs having a tough time finding a job. There will be many sacrifices if I get into the BSN program and of course there is the whole tuition factor. What to do....each day I go back and forth and I am so confused! Any and all feedback is appreciated.
