I did that for two years. But the more advanced nursing courses were more demanding because of the clinical rotation. I have three kids at home. It was beginning to take its toll on me. I happened to find out about distance learning.
Most adult learners have children and a job.
We can't spend three hours in class at night plus travel time. I have a home to manage and house payments to make. With distance learning programs you're in control of what you want to do and how fast you want to cover the material. It's different for each individual because it's independent study. But I have assistance from the nursing faculty members who are at my disposal during office hours.
