I want to do this to have money coming in while I do my RN to BSN. I also have about a 7K student loan that I would love to get off my back. Will I be able to get a nursing scholarship from the Air Force, have them take care of my student loan, by just joing the Reserves for now? I plan to enlist full time when I complete my BSN! Also.. if I am in school and I want to enlist in the Air Force, will they put off me going to basic until I atleast finish my associates? My ASVAB score expires this coming up summer(I made an 89) and I don’t want to put it to waste. I hope my questions are clear! Thanks in advance.

I have planned on going to college to get my RN for years and already went to tech school to get my PCT (patient care technician) My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and we are very happy about the birth of our little baby girl this October (once we got over the shock!) Hes a great guy, hes an HVAC apprentice & makes very good money for his age.
Going back to school stresses me out just thinking about it. Its going to be so hard, and I dont want to miss out on my baby girl growing up because I’m always gone at school & work. Should I try to go back sooner or later? Any young moms out there have any words of advice about managing school, work, and being a good mommy?
Once I found I was pregnant everyone in my family immediately went on “her life is over” drive & said how I would never get my career and that my life would be a struggle. I want to prove them wrong – BUT HOW! :(

My intended major is Pharmacology and I plan on transfering to these following schools…
Boston University
Northeastern University
Villanova University
SUNY Buffalo
Rutgers-College of Pharmacy
My GPA for the end of the first year should be around a 3.0. Do colleges your transfer look at your high school transcripts? If they do I had about an 86 GPA and recieved a 1220 on Crit Reading and math. What kind of shot do you think I have at those schools??
Id really like to know…any thoughts would be very much appreciated…I just want to know what kind of chane I have or should i shoot lower. Money is not a problem by the way.

I go to the top high school in America, so i think schools take that into account when they look at your grades. They understand how hard a’s are to pull of there. Also, all classes are taught at high honors level, and grades aren’t weighed.
GPA- 3.85
SAT- my schools average is a 2204, so lets say i’ll get that
Extra currics
Class Secretary
Fencing
Amnesty International
HOSA (A Medical Club)
and possibly track
Classes
Math- Alg 2-Calc
Science- Chem-2 years, Bio-1 year, Physics-2 years, Medical Science (Epidemiology, Pharmacology, and Medical Research)- 1 year, Anatomy and Physiology-1 year, Bioethics- 1 trimester, zoology- 1 trimester. AP Chem-1 year
Language- 4 years of latin
History- American Hist- 1 year, World Hist- 1 year, IB History- 2 year long course
Lit- American Lit- 1 year, World Lit- 1 year, IB Lit- 2 year long course
Technology- 2 years
Art- 1 year (3 trimesters)
If you haven’t noticed, my curriculum revolves around the medical field, because within my high school, I am in The Academy for Medical Science Technology.
I want to go pre-med, and was wondering which colleges would be good to apply to. Thanks.
Money and distance are not issues
