<prompt> Human: I started college with an Electrical Engineering major and generous scholarships. I would have ended up with 30,000 in student loans, which is high but payable with the degree I would have gotten. However, I couldnt pass my electromagnetics class after three retries, and my upper division class grades removed most of my scholarships. I switched to pre-nursing after this.Im close to finishing my fourth year of college with almost all of my nursing school prerequisites completed and 40,000 in loans. If I stay in school for two more years to complete my bachelors of science in nursing, Ill have 70,000 in loans at almost 9 in interest, which seems too risky. I spent the past few months trying to enlist as a medic in the army so that my student loans wouldnt balloon out of control. However, the MEPS doctor said that hell submit another medical waiver that has a likely chance of getting denied. This means I wont be able to use the GI Bill.If my medical waiver is denied, I might work as a CNA for a couple years while living in my van so that as much money as possible goes towards my student loans or go to nursing school as soon as possible and continue living in my van so that I can fully pay for my tuition. Both of these options are nowhere near ideal.Are there any options Im missing that would pay for my tuition or allow me to live extremely frugally? My loan repayment options are limited since my parents dont trust government loans, and only cosign on private loans. TL;DR: I need a way to complete my bachelors degree in nursing without my student loans rising very high, or a way to quickly pay off my existing loans.  <response>: Can you look at other nursing schools in the area and see if theyll take your prerequisites? It may be cheaper to finish out the BSN elsewhere.Come join us on rnursing or rstudentnurse for these questions, a lot of people on this sub probably arent familiar with pathways to being an RN.
