Hello everyone, Now that I have grown up and am a young professional I have come to realize my heart in not in my current job. I have always thought about pursing a degree in nursing but thought I wanted to be a business women when I was young, and native. Now, I know all I want is to be able to make a difference in people's lives and help others out. Currently, I live in Portland, OR but am moving back home to live with my mom in Texas. I am planning on taking my pre-reqs at a community college and then applying to nursing schools. Today, I just found out financial aid isn't as accessible when you already have a bachelors degree. My mom cannot afford to pay for my pre-req classes so that is an out and working a part time job will not cut it since I will be considered and out of state student (still have my Texas license) At this rate I am lost as to what I should do. I most certainly want my BSN but am wondering if I need to do an associates and then get my BSN? Any information on funding assistance and/or programs that might be available in Texas would be greatly appreciate. Sincerely, Hoping to be called an RN one day
