Hello everyone, my name is Polly and i am really confused about my carrer. i dont know where to start. I want to be a registered nurse. I was think of a trade school, or army nurse because i heard they pay for your schooling? im 21, im married with a daughter, so im not sure if i can exactly be deported for months every where. i dont mind moving around, i just cant be literlly away from my family for weeks or months at a time i would want them with me as much as possible. what would you guys recommend?

if you want anyone to help you pay for schooling there will be strings attached. I recommend you contact the financial aid dept of local nursing schools to see if you qualify for any grants or loans. Some will let you pay monthly. I paid for my first semester, then found out I qualified for scholarships due to good grades and was able to make ends meet with that. Good luck!!

With all of your stipulations, the military will not be a good choice for you.

A community college program may be a good place to start.
