My husband and I got married shortly after he enlisted in the army. We had been dating 4 years at this point. I ended up putting nursing school off for 7 years because we moved around so much (I did get an accounting degree in that time though, so it wasn't like I completely gave up all schooling). My husband is out of the service now and we live somewhere that we plan on staying for a long while. I start Nursing school in the fall and I'm honestly glad I waited. My son is in school now, so I'm able to attend classes during that time. I also have better focus now than I did just a few years ago. My point is that you may want to weigh your options. It may be a good idea to get any prerequisites out of the way first and then see where you are after that point :)
