So I've had an epiphany of sorts...I applied to BCTC in Lexington...In just 2 years for about $7000 I can get my Associate's Degree in Nursing and became an RN...It just seems smarter to do that than spend $24,000 to go to UK to be a teacher that makes about $10,000 less a year than an RN...Plus, after becoming an RN, I am more likely to find a job at UK that helps pay for me to get my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and maybe my Master's so I can really make some money...If I were to just get my Bachelor's in Teaching and then get my Master's, I'd be making less and would have spent soooo much on school...I really think this is a very good decision on my part...
I have to be a CNA before I take my nursing courses, so I'll actually probably do that at UK since it's about the same for both schools when you factor in all of the materials, etc...Plus, UK's course includes the CPR portion that I would have to take before the course at BCTC...
I'm excited...
Oh, and it looks like I get to go watch Ethan for a couple of hours next Saturday!!!...Yay!
