i was just wondering if anyone had any advise on what i should do now? i didnt get into the rn program at baptist ... so i told them to go ahead and put me down for the lvn waiting list...
i was wondering would anyone mind sharing what there gpa was to get into the lvn program! ( i have a 3.3 right now, but not good enought for the rn program)
i also applied for sac but dont find out if i made it into the rn program there for another month!?
If RN is your goal, then you should really ditch the LVN thing. It will be a waste of your time, your money, and your effort. Just stick to the RN. If you start working as an LVN you'll probably find it even harder to to stop everything and go back to school AGAIN for your RN. No bueno!!!
This wasn't my experience at all. I was an LPN, then an ASN, now a BSN. I also did this with a family of several small children. If a person has the drive they will do it.
Congrats on getting accepted to the RN program! Although, there wouldn't have been anything wrong with going the LVN route, if that's what you would have had to do. A lot of others do it that way.
Even though Baptist was my 1st choice, I'll be going to SAC (for RN) in the evening...just found out that I was accepted there!
Congratulations! I know you got accepted into the RN program, but when I saw your acceptance to the LPN program post, it reminded me of my clinical instructor. She started as an aide, went to get her LPN license, ADN, BSN, MSN, and now has her doctorate. Quite the ladder, but she's an amazing nurse.
