Mostly advice, so IMHO but there’s some GQ in here too. I have in mind to go back to school for an RN degree (that’s better than LPN right?).
Hopefully I can just do a two year or less program since I already got a BA years ago, with a few science classes so I won’t have to start completely from scratch.

Can I get student loans? I know nothing at all about it. Parents paid the first time around. I have some money saved but it’s not enough for more than a semester or two. I’m unemployed and have not so great credit. Is it still possible?

Assuming I can’t get a loan, I’ve heard that hospitals will sometimes help you get a nursing degree if you already work there in some other capacity. Are there any technical hospital positions I could get qualified for more cheaply and quicker, that would help me get my foot in the door? And is that even a thing?
Long Island, New York, if it matters.
