So I am a 30 year old male returning to school and I just finished all of my pre reqs for my nursing degree at my 2 year college. I was recently accepted into the nursing program a couple of weeks ago.
However, Today I found out at the nursing meeting that the class will take up almost 3 days of the week, all days of the week that I currently work on. I am single and I not have kids, but I am living paycheck to paycheck and have no money left after payday.
I got school loans but it absolutely is nowhere near enough to live off of. I have a car payment, cell phone, rent, etc and no way to rid myself of any of those bills. I will have to drop to 32 hours or less at work which would not allow me to afford my bills, or even survive essentially. I also have no family that can help financially at all and I have no way to decrease my current living expenses as they are as cheap as they can realistically get.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or options that I may not know about or have not considered? If I am unable to afford it I am going to have to pass up the opportunity of nursing school to continue to work for 12/hr for the seemingly foreseeable future. thanks in advance.
