Finally doing it - going for RN school

I am starting the application process, and getting the pre-requisites done for RN school at a Community College up the road from me. Waiting list is about a year and I can work full-time and save up since I won't be able to do it during classes and clinicals (at least not 40 hours.) I am a CNA, but can't find work partly because of the economy, and a few other reasons I won't get into, so I decided to start the RN application process sooner than planned. Can't wait to get started.

I'm glad that you decided to make that decision. I am so happy for you. A lot of people have a hard time just making it this far. Keep up this kind of attitude and you'll be able to accomplish whatever you set your mind to.

Way to go. Making the decision is half of the battle. The other thing too is when you do find another job, that employer may have a tuition reimbursement policy that will help you to pay for school! Good luck!
