Definitely the right decision for you, it's great you were able to pay off your student loan so fast :)

2008! WOW!!! where did you move to if you don't mind me asking? and did you move because of work?

"Quizlet?" never heard of it... googling it right now :) . Did you do your courses through the ILC?

Thanks that's very helpful, and I live in Brampton, ON. Gives me something to think about, I'll continue to do my Chemistry and Biology but perhaps will shift my focus back to dietetics... or social work, but job prospects are not necessarily great in social work either. It's funny how you can get misleading information from sites such as Service Canada, RNAO, etc.

How did you find the online Chem, Bio and math? I just registered for Chemistry and Biology online (probably should've done 1 at a time) and I'm finding that for me there isn't enough "explaining" in the online materials and I'm having to go on youtube, internet etc. I'm considering buying the actual textbook for Chemistry. What types of things do you do for English? is it mostly writing essays?

I've reached a point where I feel a career change is the way to go; I'm 37 yikes!!! I was originally contemplating Dietetics because I have an interest in nutrition and preventive medicine. However, I'm now considering becoming an RN instead of a dietitian because it seems that nursing is in high demand and has more job opportunities and the salaries are higher, these things are very important to me because I'm a single parent to a 6 year old and if I'm going to get a student loan for a 4 year degree at this point in my life I want it to be for a career where I can actually find a job. And I really like the aspect of being able to help people which is something both nurses and dietitians do, just in very different capacities. The research I've done online suggests that there are tons of jobs for nurses but I wonder if this truly is the reality. I'm currently working on getting my grade 12 Chemistry and Biology online and next will be math. I know nursing school is very demanding, am I crazy for trying to attempt this when I have a 6 year old to take care of? I would be doing the RN program full time.
