Advice for School Consideration

[melessia]

My husband is a licensed EMT with our local volunteer fire dept. He would very much like to become an RN and work in the emergency dept. We live about 35 minutes north of Kansas City. His current plan he is considering is to get his Associate's at Penn Valley, pass the Board and get a job as an RN and then transfer to a 4-year program for his BSN while working. Can anyone give me any suggestions or advice if this sounds like a good plan, maybe should he reconsider and do something different? By the way, we have two children ages 4 and 8 and he must continue working full-time while doing this. Is this possible at Penn Valley? Thanks for any advice.

Were you guys also aware that PVCC just started an evening RN program? I believe that this semester was the first semester they started. I have not heard how it is, or if students like it...but I thought that was a good option for you to look into. I know the current chair of the program, and she is awesome.

Good luck!

Yes, I had heard about the evening program but that is really not an option for me. I would never see my husband (and I kinda like him). However, I am hoping that some of the people on the list for the daytime program will move to the evening program and open up a few spaces.
