Yes but my school says with the degree they find you a job as an RN so I dunno

Quoting Heather ♥:" don't let your age stop you from getting an education or setting/making goals."

I know I just dont have a lot of time to go to school. It is really expensive to live out here and so I will have to work full time just to pay rent and right now my classes are online but any of the major classes Im going to have to take on campus

Where in Cali are you? Most large cities require a BSN. At least, that's what I've found.

ETA: Not trying to deter you, but there is a major push for BSN.

Oh hon, I'm turning 27 in a few months and just started my AA and intend on getting my bachelor's degree. You can do it with drive, support, hard work and focus!

Yeah, age doesn't matter. There were plenty of 40-50 year old women in my classes.

Yup. One of the women from my math class was getting her clinical stuff last week and she's 52.

Then I meg a toxic guy dropped outta school... Here I am 2 years later and trying school again. Lol im lost on,what to do for a career but its one of those things you gotta tell yourself to buck up and get your smurf together (well I told myself thst lol) so school and a job for me

True. I am getting financial aid for this semester and I'll see how long I can get it for and if not then I'll check out the loans. Thanks. It's just as of right now I do not know what I want my career to be.
