Congrats on your D wanting to go into nursing. As a physician, I interact with all types of nurses everyday, and I applaud someone as obviously intelligent as your D pursuing nursing. Nursing, like teaching, has been hit hard by the expansion of opportunities for women, and though it is recovering because of the huge demand and salary improvements, there is still a lot of room for people of energy and smarts.
She should be able to get a substantial merit scholarship, if not a full ride, and should definintely give some thought to what she wants from her career. Getting a 4 year degree in nursing upfront gives you more flexibility. There are so many postgrad opportunities and varied types of practice in nursing - it can be a great career.
