Help!!! I want to become an RN

Nurses Career Support

Published

I want to move up and become an RN. Here's the sticky stuff. I have nine if my prerequisite courses done and I'm wondering if being a CNA counts? Time doesn't permit for me to go to traditional classes as I am a single parent? What do I do? I want to be cost effective as well. Help me out here. Is Ivy tech ok to start or just go head first at pre RN-BSN? Fellow Carolina girl here

If you need to know "what counts", it is best to contact the nursing programs and talk to an admissions advisor who can provide you with accurate information because the requirements vary. Nursing education is a time-consuming process. It's just not possible to accomplish it online in your spare time. There is no substitution for in-person classroom & training for clinical practice.

I understand that it is time consuming. I Dont care if it takes a couple years or so. What I do want to do is be cost effective. I have taken the time to research and have decided on being a nurse. I just needed advise from someone who has been in my shoes to want something for themselves but be a parent as well. None the less thank you so much for your input.
