Online nursing programs for a change of career

I work full time in a law office and to be honest I do not like it. I want to work helping people and I have decided to look into online nursing programs. I cannot afford to give up my job and go back to school. By taking courses online I will be able to complete my nursing degree online while I still earn money. at some point I will need clinical practice and I will deal with that when the time comes. for now I am excited to finally begin to work on having a new and worthwhile career.
