Driving an hour to school there and back

Nursing Students General Students

Published

I applied to 2 different nursing schools. One is 15-20 minutes away but I only got accepted to the LPN program. The other school is about an hour away and I would have to drive there I'm sure everyday just about. I got accepted to their RN program. Now I have a decision drive 20 minutes and be an LPN or 2 hours everyday going to the other school there and back.... I am worried about being overly exhausted. Driving an hour every day to school sounds like a bad idea. I want to be an RN (& it's only 2 years) but I'm dreading the fact that I'll be spending 2 hours everyday driving. I just need some advice....

Specializes in Med-Surg, Oncology, Neurology, Rehab.

OP I am glad you made that decision to go for your RN as most on this post suggested God Bless you as you travel back and forth! Two Years will go by fast!!

aleong I am on the forums again and seeing you everywhere :) I do not know if you will get this message but its worth a try! I have been accepted into CSUN and APU for this year and I am trying to make my mind up about where to go. I know you went through the same dilemma last year (MSMC vs CSUN) and was wondering if you are happy with your decision with CSUN?

I know many students who drive a lot for school, and we have bad winters. It's doable!
