I already have a BS in another field and have been working for over 10 years. I am over 40 and looking to change my career into nursing.

I have seen ads in my local paper for hospitals willing to pay tuition. Nursing is a critical shortage in almost every state. Do some research and see if you have a local hospital that is willing to pay for your education in exchange for your loyalty when you graduate.

Some hospitals will pay your tuition up front if you have already worked for them for 6 months or so and sign a contract (usually the same amount of time you are in school)

There are a number of financial aid resources for adult students who want to get a degree in nursing. Here's a nursing scholarships directory: http://myonlinenursingdegree.com/healthcare-scholarships.html
And here's a more comprehensive resource with excellent information about financial aid, grants, and other means to afford to retuen to college:
