Becoming a CNA, 18, Want to be an RN. :D

Hi Im am dude and currently im a CNA student at a tech school. I love my classes. Lastnite night we went over CPR info. Fun stuff with the dummies lol. This is my after school plans:

Sounds like a nice plan. Stay motivated and know that your goals can be reached! :)

Sounds a lot like my plan :) most people always say "just go straight for your rn" but I have a daughter, +& I need the fastest way possible. So its cna lpn then rn for me.

Go for it :) When I started college at 18, I initially intended to just go straight for my RN/BSN, but I transferred to a community college, took some pre-reqs, got my CNA @ 19, worked & finished up some more pre-reqs.transferred back to a college @ 21, and then started an LPN program..just finished 2 weeks ago & waiting to take my boards :) Hopefully I get into my school's BSN program for the fall, and then next year I'll be an RN :) Good luck, you can do it!

I would try and apply to both LPN and RN. If you get in either, it's great! Better to have one than neither, right? My auntie did the CNA-LPN-RN-BSN path and it took her almost 8 years because the community college had a wait list at the time for the ADN program. :) Good luck to you.
