Only you can decide what you want to do, but i can tell you that i am going to be attending drexel university in the fall, to study nursing (B.S.N/M.S.N Dual Degree). From what i have seen, nursing is an extrememly rewarding field, with so many opportunities.  Hospitals are hurting for them, and it is not difficult at all to find a job.  You can do everything from becoming an LPN, RN, and then going back to school to become an advanced practice nurse. I hope i dont get bashed from someone for saying this, but from what i have seen, there are so many more opportunities for a career in nursing as opposed to social work.  Get job descriptions and such off of www.salary.com. Nursing also offeres great flexibility with regards to scheduling. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Go to college. Major in Behavioral Sciences in community college and social work at university. You might want to consider a master after that to get more choice in what you do later on.

I am a retired nurse.  Became a nurse at age 31, and in my class in college 31 was actually the average age!  We had 2 girls straight out of high school.  All others were older.  In most states a 4 yr college degree is preferred, but in many, you can go to a 2 yr program to get your R.N.  Then you can work as an R.N. and transfer into a B.S. (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)  program at a 4 yr University for 2 more years.  This way you can get tuition reimbursement help from your employer. She could call a nearby Jr. college or community college for info. Many women, and men too, do this. Encourage her to go for it.  The college will guide her into appropriate classes.  There is a specific plan.

i am studying to be a social worker in London and the main thing they want before letting you study is experience. I'm not sure how old you have to be when you leave school but maybe you could start off doing voluntary work in a care home or that environment. its hard to say to much as like i say I'm not sure on the education system over there. however you do it i wish you all the luck as there is not enough social workers but too many people needing them.

Go talk to a counselor at your local college or nursing school.  They can tell you where to start.  Some nursing programs take some time to get in to, but you could be studying the basics while waiting to get into the program of your choice.  Good luck.  It is a rewarding job.

Try a d-i-c-t-i-o-n-a-r-y.  perhaps a dictionary of terms used in SOCIAL WORK, or EDUCATION.  You might need to expend some energy in the reference section of your school library, but I did it and so can you.

A couple of quick ideas from this old RN.  How about administration in Hospitals or Nursing homes.  It should be a prerequisite for all those at the top of such organizations to have your background.  I would check with your state requirements for certification process for either of the above and go for it.  How about managing a "non-profit" having to do with the homeless situation in our country or the "battered or abused".  See--I still think like a nurse.  They say that nurses are "born" ,not just educated to do.  Ask yourself--which am I and go for it.  You have enough "book-learning"  dear.  Good luck

As someone who works in the social work field, all I can say is run away.  Find anything else in the world.  Find a job that allows you to leave work at work and just pay attention to friends and family, because they will be there when your clients are long gone.

nursing is a great job.  You'll always have work as long as people get sick or have babies.

If your current job is dealing with nursing you shouldn't quit.\nNursing school is not that easy. Maybe you can work a part time job to still make money

I will pass on some advice I was given just a few years ago when I went to nursing school and had children in aprox. the same grades:  Chef Boyardee and Franco American are fantastic cooks!!!  Believe me, my kids hate the stuff now but we existed on it for the 2 years I was in the program. You will NEED to set up some time for yourself to study. What I did was set a bedtime 7:30 and all the time up until that was for me and the kids. After they went to bed I cracked my books, sometimes I could crack them while they were up but I never retained what I read. Don't be afraid to ask for help is also very important. Kentucky had some childcare grants---FREE that allowed me to afford childcare for those times when school was cancelled or had a half day. You can get some tips by getting in contact with the nursing dept. at the school you plan on attending and find out if such a program exists in your state. You are also better off getting the basic req.s out of the way first. You won't have time if they throw in some community service or clinicals after class. The hours are never what they tell you they are going to be. I also used multi colored pens to rewrite my notes at the end of the day so that important info stuck out.

A lot depends on how close to graduation you are.\nIf you are two semester or less, finish the health admin.\nthis will allow you to work in a hospital.\nYou can then work toward the RN.\nIf you are just starting the health admin then change to RN and follow your heart.\nFollow your heart either way!

I am almost sure you cannot do that anymore.It used to be called "grandfathering"  But all is not lost.You clinical skills should help you in a nursing program.Why not go for R.N. LPNs are not as well trained as R.N.'s and they are supposed to function under the direction of an R.N. but believe me they don't.They aren't as respected in the medical community either.
