Starting BSN-to-PMHNP at Wilkes University

[Wake88, BSN, RN]

So I'm in a pickle and trying to figure out how to proceed.

 

I've got $2500 saved up for PMHNP program. I work 5-6 12s a week, for school. I could attempt Fall semester this August 29th, with maybe around $6,000-$10,000 saved as an emergency fund for school. It could be a real struggle.

 

OR, wait until next Spring semester, and work my *** of now to put like $20K-$30K into my bank account specifically for school. I figured that way I'll have a lot less worry if some sh*t goes down, and would still have $$$ for school. 

 

I am burnt out on floor nursing, working at times 8-10 12s in a row, and haven't had 2 days off in a row in over two months. I just want to get through school and get off the floor, because of all the abuse we go through. It'd probably be wiser to prepare now through Fall and Winter, and then start next Spring... 

 

I figure if I have at least a buffer of $10K specifically for school that'd give me some breathing room in case ish hits the fan.
