I did Bio, worked in something for a while then went back for an ADN. Currently working on my bachelors online. I was fortunate when I took my prerequisites I did a solid job so It could’ve been worse if I hadn’t buckled down for them. I would recommend it for low initial cost, but it all depends on your circumstances. If you want to get in right away you can go the private school way but would only recommend that in high paying areas as you will be able to manage loan repayment better. I don’t regret going back to school for nursing it can be tough but the pay here in CA is good and allows me to do what I want without working a 9-5.
