Sorry- I meant an ABSN. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and worked school administration for 18 years.

Hi - I got accepted to an AA-BSN program in NYC for fall 2014, but wasn't able to attend due to finances (taking out almost $100,000 in loans was not an option!). I found a part time program at my local community college in NJ, but I can't even apply until October 2015 (because I was lacking Anatomy II, which my NY school didn't require) and if I get accepted that means I start in January 2016 (the evening program is only spring admission), which puts me at 40 years-old when I start. I have been working towards this goal for the past 2 years and I am just getting disillusioned. While my husband has a good job, I have to work while I am in school because I can't afford not to (rent, kids, etc.,), and overall, I am just wondering if it is all worth it. Right now I am working an office job, and I would love to get a foot in the door at a doctor's office or hospital doing SOMETHING, but I feel like no one will look at me because I don't have medical experience. I just feel like everywhere I turn, there's a wall. I am just not really sure if this goal is something I should continue working towards. Thank you and sorry for whining.
