I appreciate your response, i am just a complete mess. If you read my previous post, i just graduated about 2 months ago with my associates. Right now, i feel like i dont know what to do next. I havent applied to any program or registered for the hesi because i been studying and feel like i wont be ready anytime soon, and because honestly, i dont know what i should do next. I know this is what i want, and today i got fed up with this whole agonizing feeling, and felt its time to come out my shell. I have just had bad encounters and have done plenty of research perhaps not enough and assume maybe out there somewhere there are other individuals with the intent to help individuals like me, who seek the purpose to one day want to make a difference in someone elses life.

*Thank you for taking the time to share your references, I will definatley look through them.

I completed an LVN program and an LPN-to-ASN transition program before enrolling in a BSN program.

My BSN program was online. I worked 40 to 48 hours per week on the night shift while earning the BSN degree. Therefore, I didn't attend a traditional BSN program.
