I am stuck at a major cross road and just want some outside opinions. 23 y.o. looking towards nursing school. Current living situation is with my parents and boyfriend.
Im 23 and work for a health care institution as a medical assistant that will reimburse me 75% for classes I take--but the only thing is you must keep the hours you have. I currently work 36 hours and am able to take multiple classes now but simply because the pre reqs for nursing are often offered online. When/if I get into the nursing program, I would still be able to do work full time and take classes but obviously very sparingly and only when the night classes are available. They are programs for nights and weekends for nursing so that is an option as well. Taking classes and working full time would mean that it would take me exceptionally longer to finish school but I would have help paying for it. I also would be able to move out if I chose to continue with this option.
Option 2-- My parents told me that if I wanted to I could stay at home (they are totally fine with me and my boyfriend being there) through nursing school. The idea being that I would quit my full time job as an MA when/if I get into nursing school and go full time to school. I would get loans out for the schooling. I would also more than likely get a part time job that's very flexible to have running around money as I do have a $300 car payment. The pro side of this is that I wouldn't have to worry about rent money and I would be able to get done school faster. Bad side is that my boyfriend and I would be living at home longer and I don't get reimbursed for this as I couldn't keep my current job due to them not offering part time positions.
I am very lucky that my boyfriend has told me he supports me either way and wants me to do what I want. Except I can't choose and am so conflicted. Please help!
Thank you so much .
