What Is Your Advice About My College Situation?

Well, ultimately, I will attend a RN program and maybe further my education with a BS in nursing. However, right now, the only college option is an hour away and rates university expensive. I need to get several pre-reqs such as Amer Gov’t, Sociology, Microbiology, Public Speaking, Nutrition, College Algebra, and maybe Spanish. I was thinking about attending an online college for my pre-reqs but I am having trouble finding a college I can go to just for these classes and not be degree seeking. Any advice?

    Once upon a time I was making 10$ a hour living no where really with no life and no hope. Speaking about the same as you are. I can’t do this because of this, and that may be expensive and I’m unsure….. etc…
    But one day I got a chance to move somewhere new and have a life that I could be proud of – to find a new hope so to speak. And I kept going… “I don’t know, its far, its away from home.. I don’t know if I can.”… But then one day I told the man that I concider to be my first role model – good guy, good morals. And he said “look buddy, you’ve been saying you want to go, and you know what you want to do… so just go”. And I said “but”, and he said “hey, look… you have to just go for it, if you want something go for it or you’ll never get anywhere… if you want to go, tell me its your 2 week notice… and leave it at that.. pack up what you have and go”. Of course making this decision was 1200 miles .. but I thought about it, and said right then…. ok, this is my 2 week notice. Needless to say i traveled the 1200 miles and stayed 2 years.
    In hindsight, its one of the worse decisions I’ve ever made, but… I called my role model there today to talk to him. And you know what? I went and came back, and learned a lot – and got a better job, and now I’m making $5 more a hour than him, with way better benefits… and he’s about to retire/he’s making a dollar less. But he told me I was doing good, he’s glad I’m doing well… and that I deserve it.
    So my suggestion would be just to make it work, the rest will fall in line. Because if your taking the time to write here, then nothings going to get done. ;)
    On a side note, a hour isn’t exactly a horrible commute. I was traveling a hour and 10 minutes one way to work for 6 months. If its something you need to do, then you’ll do it – and down the line from today it’ll get better.
    P.S … make sure college course credits = tranferable.
