I don't know!

Wow. If I seriously want to apply for nursing, I have my work cut out for me. I'll have to immediately apply for the BA program for THIS September (yes, that would mean classes start in 3 weeks) so that I can raise my GPA, which will increase my chances to get accepted in the nursing program in 2009. So, estimate about 1400$ for tuition, due in 3 weeks... Plus, I have to do online upgrading for Math 30, Bio 30 and Chem or Physics 30. Now, I don't have to do these until January, but seriously, I can't take all three of those courses at the same time! Especially the math, which is going to take an enormous amount of studying for me.

So, I'm going to try and get at least bio 30 out of the way now, starting in September, while I'm potentially taking 3-4 courses at Mt Royal in the BA program. Oh yeah, did I mention that the upgrading is going to cost me about $1400 too? So, $2800 just to be eligible to GET IN to the nursing program.

However - any courses I take at Mt Royal this year will be courses that I can put towards the nursing degree anyways - so that will save me $ the year after.

I'm seriously stressing over this. As Ian pointed out, suddenly I'll need childcare while I'm in class, and all of this on top of watching all these other kids, teaching, etc etc!

SO much for my mat leave!

I don't know what to do. More later, as I process some of this information.

I have so much respect for student moms! Good luck on whatever you decide to do. School is so expensive. Some days I just want to move to some socialist European country for the free tuition. Go Sweden!
