Stuck between a rock and a hard place need some advice

[DENISERONALDPOLITE]

Hello, everyone I'm very stressed about my upcoming decisions because I have to do what is beneficial for me and my son. I currently live in Albany, ga and attend a community college called darton. Recently I've been thinking about moving back to my hometown of savannah to attend Armstron Atlantic University. Not only because I hate it here in Albany but also so i can have help with my son. I am in my last semester as far as pre-reqs, my g.p.a is 3.41 probably higher after this semeser. The only thing that I haven't gotten to yet is the hesi I'm pretty confident I will get in. The things that make me want switch to a BSN is because if I move back I will have help with my son, I am a single parent, I want to join a sorority (my school doesnt offer that), I want to go home, and doing a bridge program after i get my adn just seems like so much extra work. If i do choose the university I will have to more semesters (summer and fall) of pre-reqs and then I will apply for spring 2012. I am very confused and stuck I dont want to give up a almost sure thing here in Albany. but I dont want to struggle either. Any advice? Thank you.

From one parent to another, I think any support and help is better than none! Especially, if you do switch to nursing as a degree you'll need extra help while taking the science classes. Also, when you get into clinicals you'll need help as well. Good luck, but I think happiness is better.

I too am a single parent. You most certainly have to do what is best for you and your son. If you're going to have help with your son in Savannah, then the extra pre-reqs really shouldn't matter. It will be worth it...less stress while getting your BSN. My situation is different because I live 1.6 miles away from the college I will be attending for their ADN program. I couldn't have possibly made a 4.0 in my PCT courses and began to pursue a nursing career without my mother's help with my daughter. Just weigh the pros and cons. If you feel confident that you can maintain your household, grades, and keep your son happy without help, then stay where you are. Deep down inside, I think you already know what you want to do. Good luck with your decision...definitely go for happiness like Taylo040 said.

Thanks you guys, I'm in a struggling situation now trying to stretch my time so I think I will go ahead and move back. And plus tI always wanted to join a sorority and I can do that at Armstrong. Thanks for helping me think through my decision.
