We have very similar paths. After 10 years in the Air Force, I left in 2003, then "life happened". I spent these last 10 years as a single parent to two wonderful children. Now that they are older (and so am I), my path to becoming an RN just got brighter. I will be applying for the ADN Program this Fall for next Fall start date. I'm nervous about the TEAS test, but I am confident that this life long dream of mine will finally be fulfilled :) Good luck to you, and thank you for sharing your story!
