Fresh Grad LVN student Opting for 30 unit option

Ive been working as LVN for just 2 months, and im thinking of starting the 30 unit option offered here in California .but i have to start from zero though(no pre-reqs at all ) cuz my credits had expired already

I know peeps will tell me its only for state of CA, you cant have an admin position, its only a certificate, or its too ealry to pursue it, or you always take the easy route blah blah... for me its all good !
IMO theres not much diff. whether its ADN,BSN or just RN certificate. they all have R.N licenses. agree ? or not....
the thing is im not sure what steps im gonna take first. or things to consider and stuff

So if ur a graduate of either Cerritos, Cypress Compton Colleges your advice would be very helpful with my decision
and anyone whos reading this, any advice/comment would be appreciated !
TY :P

Re: Fresh Grad LVN student Opting for 30 unit option

If your prerequisites expired, that's the first thing you have to do, your application won't be complete and you won't be considered until you have your prereq's out of the way since you already have your license. Other than that, that's about it and apply and wait for a seat.

If you decide that you want to continue your education and pursue ADN, BSN, or continue on even higher, go for it. Many people do not stop to think that people can be and ARE happy where they are, not only that, they want you to do what they did becuase they think that's the best and only way. Well guess what there is more than one way to skin a chicken and more than one way to become a nurse. Always do what's best for you and you'll never go wrong no matter what anyone says.
