Applying to Nursing School After Declining Acceptance
I was wait-listed and eventually was accepted into the nursing program last year at Carroll Community College, but then declined the seat due to my husband losing his job. The director of the program told me to reapply when I was ready. My husband is now employed with a very good position and I wanted to know whether anyone thinks it would be more difficult to be accepted the second time around, despite my hardship at the time. I really want to get in - it's all I ever thought about it and still think about. Thank you.

Well, I'm not exactly facing retirement; I figure I have another 20 years of working in today's world. that's long enough to spend in a new career.

Quitting my $63K job as a legal assistant for nursing school
Hi, I'm quitting my job as a legal asst and starting clinicals in the fall. While I'm excited about this new career path, I am scared to death about quitting my well-paid job and not being able to find a job as an RN. I have heard that this is an ongoing problem with new graduates. Also, what do RN's make in the State of Maryland? Does anyone know? I am approaching my 50th birthday in December and am not getting any younger, so I also fear my age might be a factor in getting hired against my younger counterparts. Although I'm not changing careers for the money, I do have concerns because I have a family that relies on my contribution. My plan is to find a part-time job while attending nursing school but think it will be hard to find an employer who will want to accommodate my schedule. Any feedback regarding these concerns would be welcome! Thank you.
