I need help... ADN at city college or Vocational School at Unitek??

[Kzxiong08]

I am currently a student at City College and I have been working on my Gen. Eds for Nursing since

'08. I feel like I am never going to get out of City College... Anyhow, I originally set up my educational planner to transfer to a 4 year university... But, after seeing the requirement on a 4.0+ for the Nursing Programs there, I backed out and dropped my transferrable courses. So right now, I am torn in between 2 decisions... My brother researched a vocational college called Unitek, he said the school had great statistics and that they were cheaper than other Vocational Schools. For some odd reason, I've always been against Vocational schools but NOW I feel like I need to finish school and going to a vocational school is my only other option. As for my Gen. Ed at City college... I have about 2 more years before I can apply for the Nursing Program here at City college and their pickings are based on LOTTERY so I dont even know if i'll be guaranteed a seat for who knows how many semesters... So I am definitely going crazy:uhoh3:... If anyone can just give me their input on which they think is better, and also if anyone can give me reviews about Unitek that would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!!:redpinkhe

Christine, thanks for the advice... I am really torn between what I want to really do because my family is telling me that since I am still young and single I should just go to school and get my RN as well as a B.S. So I am just feeling all over the place. But, your advice painted the LVN picture a little clearer for me.... I was thinking about doing the LVN to RN bridge but I never really knew what that meant..... Thanks for the info!

You are so welcome! Best of luck in your decision.

please visit the distance learning forum and do a search regarding the college network before you sign the contract. you do not need to spend thousand of dollars for the college network books. you can buy other cheaper study guides or use the recommended books.

visit the distance learning forum here and you'll learn tons of info.
