Ok now you know a little about my situation maybe you can help me I want to pursue education as a nurse practitioner and i havent started searching colleges i dont even care really as long as i get my degree but my sons speech therapist says i should go to a big 4yr university because i have lots of potential and am smart she also think i need to go out of san antonio just because i have so much bad memories here but my question is does anyone know a good 4yr college that is located near a great hospital and the city must have lots of specailist for my son also the college has to have the major i want which i dk wat its called i just know i want to be nurse practioner? also i would like to be somewhere with resources maybe a housing program or something i can use temporary till i finish school?
 
Hi honey! First off congratulations for being so strong and ambitious.With your strength and attitude,you will go far as long as you dont lose the drive that you have! To become a Nurse Practitioner,you have to become a Registered Nurse first.You can start off at a Community college and finish in two years or go straight to a University and finish in 4 years.After that,you can apply to a Master's degree program to become a Nurse Practitioner.You must have a Bachelors before you can apply.Your journey to becoming a NP will take about 6 years if you go to school full time.If you don't go full time it will take more than 6 years.Will it be possible to go full time with your son? Will you have a babysitter to watch him?Do you have a support group that will help you out? Going to a community or university will be a choice that only you can make.You know your situation.Now,google "Nursing schools in San antonio" and do some research.Then apply to the schools that you're interested in.Do a search for housing programs.I wish you the very best of luck! Oh by the way,you should talk to a counselor at school or talk to a Social worker.
