Yikes!! Inorganic Chem?!? Physics?!? What kind of nursing program is this? I take online classes (RN-BSN) at FHSU, those are not required, costs are about $145/credit, classes can be taken year round and school is accredited. You need the discipline to study but it isn't difficult. They seem to use the same curriculum as the oncampus students. It is possible to do the program in 12 months but if you work, my guess the stress level would be VERY high. I work and decided 18-24 months is much more do-able with a lot less stress! Good luck!

I started college when I was 41 yr, obtained my ADN at 47yr. I'm 56yr and work 7pm-8am 3day/wk in L&D. Sure I have ache but no more than my 20-30 yr old coworkers. Staff nursing is not the only jobs available for an RN. Dr office, clinics, home health care, nursing home, the choices are endless. You'll never know if you don't try. If you find it isn't for you what have you lost? Nursing school doesn't consist of only the younger set. Life experiences gave me an infinitely greater edge and confidence many of my classmates lacked. Go for it!
