CNA to LPN to RN

[fasnv]

My perspective has changed when I learned that it's not easy to get in nursing program.

I don't have any medical (hospital) experiences, so I concluded that I have to start as a nursing assistant student to get my foot in the door.

Where I study, LPN or ADN program is very very picky. It counts everything such as experience, GPA, volunteer hours, etc. I have done many general education courses with good grades, but I don't think that I'm good enough to get in. To be more specific, the general education courses I accumulated are also nursing prerequisites. Anyway, my college's NCLEX passing rate is excellent.

My question is: Is it a lot easier to get in LPN or ADN program once I'm CNA with a few months work experience?

It's a requirement to have CNA I here to get into the LPN program. I'm going to take small steps to RN by doing CNA I, CNA II, LPN & then RN. I think this is the best way for me to learn & be better prepared for Nursing school & the NCLEX. I can only learn by doing.
