Hello all, I am in desperate need of some advice on my education plan!! Here's the thing.. Before I knew for sure that I wanted to be a nurse I started working towards my Health Care Administration AA degree with University of Phoenix online. Now I REALLY want to start working on my prereqs for admission into a nursing program. So far, the only class that would transfer is ONE English class (3cr). I have already completed 30 credits (1 year) and have 30 credits left. Basically, I am having a hard time trying to decide if I should finish with UOP or start over at a community college. The community college route would obviously be cheaper for me but in order for financial aid to pay I have to be working towards a degree (not just knocking out prereqs ). So I could start over and attend the cc here for two years and get an associates and also complete prereqs -OR- finish up at UOP and have an associates in health care admin early next year, but still have about 5 more classes to complete prereqs. Any advice is welcome, what do you all think I should do? Its upsetting because I was getting ready to start at Concorde, took the TEAS V exam and scored a 75%.. Not the best but it got me in. Next- they tell me on top of loans and pell grants theres still about $10k left to pay.. The best part of the conversation was fin aid giving me my options: 1. Pay $5k upfront and finance the rest.. 2. Just take out a private loan for the $10k.. :sstrs: Sorry for such a long post!!! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
