Thank you x 1000 for such a sweet response. This reply was just what I needed. Okay. So I'm diving in--I'm currently taking A & P 2 and plan on taking microbio and Stats next semester and will then apply to both the BSN and ASN program at my local brick-and-mortar school. (In case I don't get into 1 I have the other to fall back on). You are absolutely right, though--I'll be 34 either way so I might as well pursue a degree in something that I love.
