I am obtaining a 2 year degree RN at a community college. I have been attending a little over 3 years. I have a semester and a half to go. When I first started, my load was 9 credit hours. Every semester since has been at least 12 in order to maintain full time status in order to get maximum benefit of grants and scholarships. I drive approximately 3 hours per day to school and work, yes I work full time, 40 hours per week, with a wife and child. My grade point average is 3.77. I am also 45 years old. If I can do this, you can do this, it is never too late and you can always find a way if you want it bad enough. I feel I made the right decision and I am sure you will as well. Thank you.
