Help Angela go back to school for RN degree!
Donation protected
Hi there,
My name is Angela; I am 33 years old. I am a full-time working wife and mom to two young children. I am trying to make a career change to support my family better than I can currently.
First, a little background:
I attended college several years ago and graduated with a BA in Psychology. Not long afterward I decided that pursuing psychology was not something that would be meaningful for me and started to look into other career paths. Through my current work, I have observed and collaborated with some amazing nurses, PA's, APRNS, doctors, and other healthcare professionals who have inspired me to go back to school.
The Barriers:
Because my previous degree is Psychology focused, I lack the appropriate prerequisite courses required to enroll in an RN program. Because I am still paying on my student loans I do not qualify for grants or additional student loans while at the same time "make too much money" to qualify for any other help to pay for these courses. Having a young family and living paycheck-to-paycheck, I have found it extremely difficult to set aside money to pay for these courses.
Goal:
My goal in this fundraising request is to raise enough to pay for the prerequisite courses and fees through my local community college (CCV - about $6,000) and any required textbooks ($2,000). I'm hopeful that I can then get a scholarship to enroll in RN school after I take the prerequisites that will (hopefully) cover tuition costs. My goal is to start these courses this (2021) summer or fall; Summer registration begins April 5th with classes starting May 24th.Fall registration also begins on April 5th with classes starting September 7th.
The required courses include:
Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2
Intro to Microbiology
Intro to General Chemistry
Intro to Organic and/or Bio-Chemistry
Elementary Statistics
Thank you for taking the time to read through this. Any help is greatly appreciated!
