Unsure on which route to take with nursing career.

Published

Hello All! :heartbeatI don't know what to do!! I am a 24 y/o future nurse.I am currently in community college finishing up my pre-req's and hoping to get into a nursing program by next semester of fall '09. I have a 1yr old son, single parent. Nursing school is expensive I dont know how I will make it thru without taking out loans cuz u cant really work FT.

I just recently had some circumstances beyond my control happen and now I have to withdraw out of my micro class . I am also afraid I this will set me back. I want to do this and finish before my son turns 4 (that's my goal).I have a huge support system, and my son father is still in his life even though we are no longer together. So the time is now while the help is here.

I am also serving in the Army Reserve and my contract ends in Aug of 09 . I dont want to be selfish to my son by staying in and possibly deploying but at the same time I dont want to struggle and run into massive debt.The reserve is offering me 15,000 to stay in for another 6 yrs. Im scared I dont know what to do I just want to do what is best for us....I do really want to be a nurse though. I eventually want to be a FNP but im not sure if I should do an ADN or a BSN. I have a job as a CNA and overall, I love it ....Plz help me out ...Thanks
