Which was paid for by my parents, not financial aid! I kind of understand, but in a way I don't. The problem is that the game has changed...people aren't looking for marketing people right now, especially in Sanford! But there is a demand for nurses and the faster I get my degree and get out there and get a job, the faster we won't be needing any outside help. It's all such a catch-22. Courtney, I'd considered that but I can't. Because Fall & Spring next year will be my 2 semesters of A&P. I can't do anything else with those because I just can't handle it. And the next fall I need to be ready to enter the nursing program which means I need them out of the way. Luckily there's only 1 lab between the 2 of them! And they should be relatively easy...if I'd been in high school (or college) in the last 5 years, I'd have been able to get out of them. As it is, I am old and haven't been to school in FOREVER so I have to retake them. I think it will be OK as long as I can stay focused! Because I already have a degree.

Moreso I also feel your pain about prereqs for the nursing program. I noticed that you plan to take bio and chem in the Spring semester. Have you thought about splitting those up into 2 different semesters? Because if you have a lab associated with them, it is extremely difficult to handle one and do well. Just giving you some food for thought. I've been there, and I only have one child. Good luck on your journey! I feel your pain with tuition cost.
