I choose what I do according to the gifts, talents and skills I have and where my heart is. Chosing nursing needs more than the question, "What can I be benefit from this?" One needs a servant heart no matter how dismal some work situations are. In fact, one can make a difference by not participating in unproductive activities your co-workers may be involved in. I say this because I have some friends who are making a difference in their work. They have been stable at their jobs for many years. Concerning the money, if you are able to work part-time and study part-time, do so. It may take longer and it may be harder, but take that experience as a challenge for you to grow and develop. Who knows? You may be able to find an open door for a financial assistance while you are pursuing a degree that may lighten your load. Above all, take this as a principle: Whatever you do, do it according to your calling because you will never enjoy what you do if it is not something you love to do no matter how big is the money you earn. I have seen enough unhappy people at their jobs whether they are in nursing or other careers and they produce the worst attitude ever! This is not beneficial for both the worker and the patients or clients. I wish you the best. May God grant you wisdom in your search and provide all you need.

Hello, everyone! I'm new to allnurses. I'm thankful that this forum exists. More than five years ago, I graduated from a college in NY with another degree. I intended on pursuing an MA degree in Marital and Family Counseling, but due to a life changing experience this summer, I decided to change my career into nursing. I cannot afford to return to the US at the moment, so I am looking into the possibility of studying through distance learning. I have looked into the internet, but I have not found one that I am satisfied with. Will any of you have a first-hand knowlege of a distance learning pre-nursing program? I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.
