Yes I am receiving financial aid but that only helps so much.

Because I cant afford to go to school for it. Most of the schools that offer that program require you to pay full tuition up front or at least half..

Hello everyone! Alright so here is my story... I am currently enrolled here at a community college (Los Medanos College) in Pittsburg, CA. I am hoping to join the nursing program once I am finished with my prerequisites. I am currently in my third semester taking specifically the prerequisites required for the nursing program. I am 19 years old and working a full time job to take care of myself... I am not one of the younger adults who have my parents support me financially while I go to school full time. I work a full time job while managing go to school at night. None of my parents have gone to college so I don't really have someone to go to for advice when it comes to things like this. I am so lost on what to do in between trying to become an RN. My question is what kind of advice can you guys give me on what to do in between working full time and trying to go to school. I don't want to work at a body shop the next 2-3 years while trying to finish up school. Are there any pathways I can take to land a job somewhere else in the medical field WHILE going to school to become an RN? Are there any other pathways or degrees to go towards that could land me a better job while attending school? Any advice or tips are well appreciated. Thank you guys so much for any help! :)
