Going back to school?

I've been told by a lot of people over the years that I would make a good nurse. Now, I've never been able to figure out why in the world they'd say that, but I'm thinking that I may try to get my LPN in order in improve my job pool. For some reason it sounds really appealing to go back to school and study a bunch of science and math. I must be desperate. The only problem is that if I'm registered in California, I have to re-register for Washington. Dumb. So I'm looking at going to Clover Park Technical College because they offer Mental Health programs, which sounds super interesting. And I can take some of my classes online. Moorpark doesn't really offer much in the way of getting your LPN, just refresher courses and stuff to get your RN. PLU has a 5 day course on becoming a Parish Nurse, which is kinda cool. I've never heard of something like that. In any case, I'd have to either find a job to pay for tuition or ask for money, which I hate doing. At least if I find a job I can take night classes at Moorpark to get my prerequisites out of the way, but once I have to do clinicals and stuff I won't have any income at all. I need to think this through.
