About Kencanwin

I start in August of this year, I'm excited and Nervous all at once. I'll be attending Triton College it is an ASN program but its what i can afford and in the long term I'm saving about 25k by doing this as an online RN-BSN is significanly less than a full on BSN program. I was accepted to Olivette Nazarene for the ABSN but 60k is not in my vocabulary at this juncture in my life. So off to Triton I go and then UIC ( fingers crossed) for my further education in the field.

    Ask (rhetorically) dont divuldge your name just in case the inquiry attempts to bite you in the toucas. But the more I read the more I realize even after graduation it may be a minute before I even get an interview. So take the job.

    Kencanwin replied to guest08/26/16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    more than likely if the school you are entering is not accredited. Check with the programs you are interested in to see if they take credit from where you are considering going.

    Kencanwin replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    Ms. Pot meet Mr. Kettle... You began as an ASN/ADN and yet you want BSN to be the entry? By your logic a becoming the likes of a Plumber, Electrician, Locksmith etc should also require a Bachelors minimum in order to be considered "professional".
