As I put in my title I am new to allnurses.com. I am a registered medical assistant x 5 years now with(what I feel like) several general college credits to back it up. I work full-time at an orthopedic office, but have wanted to fulfill my dream of becoming an RN. The only problem is..working and working around my schedule. I've looked at every college I can possibly think of and almost all of them do not do evening hours or you have to already be licensed as an RN(which I'm not). Even though I have a long career in the medical field, it doesn't seem to hold any water to being accepted into these schools. I'm looking for an RN associate degree program. I am more than happy to accept any suggestions, comments, help anything at this point please!!!!!!!

Hi and welcome to the site

I have moved this to the nursing careers forum but you may also want to check out the student forums

Specializes in Critical Care.

Hi, Have you checked the local community colleges? The one that I am aplplying for does not have an evening degree program but there is another close by that does have an evening/weekend program that begins every spring. The evening programs do not seem to be common, which is a bummer for people who don't have fllexible schedules.

Good Luck, I hope you find one.:nuke:
