I am a single mom to an almost 1 year old. I will be a full time college student for pre-nursing in as little as 2 weeks. As of right now I am still in my full time job (which I will have to quit as soon as I find a way to have money to live on because my job will not work around my college schedule). I am extremely nervous because I am a first time college student (at age 25) and with a child which is even more nerve-wrecking. How did you survive with no job and being a single mom/dad and with full time school? I know there are loans out there, but it would be incredibly expensive to get a loan to live on for 4 years. Or is that just what you have to do? Any information will be greatly appreciated!
