   When you say this, do you mean that my MT training is worth it? Are you saying the reward after becoming an MT is worth it, or becoming a nurse is worth it? Sorry if I'm confusing this! lol

   babs4u replied to babs4u's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Does anyone here think it would be worth it to keep doing my MT training while also taking the pre-reqs for the RN program? There are quite a bit of them and it will take me awhile, plus the RN program is lottery based so there's no telling when I wi...

7. CC vs other schools, and LVN vs RN

   babs4u replied to babs4u's topic in California

   AT the CC I was talking about, the RN program is lottery based. I wonder how long it would take to get into that one? I just spoke with someone at that private school, and she told me that their lvn program is 12 months long! That may be harder on m...

   babs4u replied to babs4u's topic in California

   That is a good thought, thanks for the ideas and advice. There are so many different aspects and angles at nursing, its mind boggling sometimes. And I keep hearing that LVN's eventually start to work towards their rn. I am currently taking 3 of the g...
