I have been wanting to study nursing for a few years now but it has always been the wrong time because of family matters. My daughter is now 16 months old and I am feeling like maybe my time has come and I can finally enroll without feeling like I am depriving my baby. BUT now I can't decide what is better, I was set on doing the EEN course online through my local TAFE so I can study at home and save on day care fees (I have previously studied psychology from home but didn't finish the course but I know I have the will to be able to study at home) but then I go on forums and read that it is better to skip the EEN course and go straight to RN which for me is located at the same campus around the corner from my house but it is a full time course, isn't offered online and is twice the duration. I'm so lost. Do I do my original plan of study the EEN course and follow it up later on with a BN or go straight to a BN? In the short run I am happy to work anywhere but in the long run I want to work in surgery, maternity or in a specialist ward.
