Hi! Anyone else driving a long distance to go to Fort Morgan Community College? I am looking to start in their LPN-ADN program and will be driving 92 miles one direction! They are my only option at this point because I cannot get a private loan (I was accepted to DSN) so now I need to go a cheaper route but the distance is way long! Just curious to see if anyone has driven this far or more to attend school! Thanks.

Hi everyone! I have a question I need help with. I am an LPN who wants to be an RN. I have already spent 30K on my prereqs and first year and a half of nursing school for an ADN. Unfortunately I had to withdraw from my community college due to a family emergency two years ago and then I was readmitted for the next semester and failed Med/Surg II so I am unable to reapply to this community college. I am looking at transferring to a BSN program at a college close to me and it will cost approximately 58K so in total for me to become an RNBSN, I will have 80K in student loans. My question I need help with is whether or not this will pay off for me in the long run. I am 41 years old and I figure I have 20+ years of working before I can think of retiring. Is there any RNs out there that can offer any advice on whether I should pursue this and rack up this huge student loan or if I should call it quits because the price is just too high. I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this.
