I am eligible for a FULL paid tuition pell grant because my mom's income couldn't contribute ANY money what so ever to my college funds...but I am pretty sure that once I start working that will end real quick. As of right now I am very pysched and anxious to get right into nursing and work my way up...LPN would be the fastest because there are no pre reqs and I might be able to get straight in in Fall...and have it fully paid by the state...but then once I graduate and start working I'm pretty sure getting my ADN and eventally BSN is going to cost me quite a bit. If I do ADN I'd have to take a semester of pre reqs and wait till the next application period (March-May 2012) to even apply... Right now I am 17, and I don't want to waste time OR money...so in your experienced opinions...what should I do in my case? Go ahead and apply for LPN in August, or use my financial aid elibility advantage to pay for my ADN and get it out of the way EVEN if I'd have to wait a whole year to even apply for the program? :/ I want to start nursing so badly but I don't want to be stupid about this.
