Answer 1

go to technical colleges, they are cheaper and u can get your adn (bachelors RN) in 3-4 years. fill out your fafsa on-line and the government will pay for your school. get a job at the local hospital as a tech or transporter and the hospital willl help you too.\

Answer 2

Did you ever hear of a 9 credit course for one class?  It does exist in the nursing program. I know someone in the nursing program, and trust me it is very hard.  She was a total A student at undergraduate before entering the nursing program, but in the nursing program, she gets some B's and C's.  No specialized field of study is easier than the other.  All professional related studies are extremely hard.  However, it can be done!    

Answer 3

Nursing school is hard whether you do LPN or RN.   There is a lot of material to cover in a short time.

LPN's make good money but RN's make more, however LPN only go to school for 1 year, RN's two at the community college level.  

Good Luck. It will all pay off

Answer 4

Go to college!!! Community colleges offer financial aid, so most if not all of your schooling will be paid for! Just go talk to the financial aid office... :)

Answer 5

Go into the LPN program that is only 1/12 years at a community college. Get hired at a good hospital, then let them foot the bill towards your BSN. As an LPN you can make over $15.00 an hour. It's a start. Or you can get a R.N associates in a community college as well. Thats about two years full-time of course.
