Hello

welcome, tonya!! :)

slow and steady wins the race...besides, i soooo empathize, especially with the finances :)

You should be sure to check out the student nurse forum. There are lots of people there, including myself, who are going thru the same things.

Welcome!

Hi Tonya,

Along with everyone else I wish to welcome you to the forum. I'd just like to give you a little heads up if you hadn't all ready thought of it. When you're picking your prerequisites for your ASN put a list of the prerequisites for your BSN next to that. You don't want to step on your own toes, and it may save you a little time in the long run. You don't want to find out that you needed either western or eastern man to cover your humanities for your ASN and come to find out you have to have eastern man for your BSN and you took western. An accident like that can save a whole class. I did the comparison way for my ASN and saved a great deal of time for myself. Your pay is going to nearly double with your RN so the quicker you can get it done the more cash you're going to see. Remember nursing school isn't' hard it's simple time consuming. Good luck to you Tonya.

Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate everyone's support.

I believe that! LOL

Does anyone know how people put a picture to the left instead of the cartoon figures? Thanks! Tonya

You have to have a certain number of posts before you can upload a custom avitar. I think it's 50. I don't exactly remember.

Welcome home!

Hi Tonya, and welcome aboard, glad to have you. and keep moving forward. I too am cna working my way upward. yes the road seems so long but we can do it, just like all the rest have. good luck and welcome again :)

Hi Tonya,

Welcome to our board. This is a good place to meet other nurses and nursing students. It's a very supportive website, and you can learn a lot. Just a word of wisdom, Take one day at a time, and learn as much as you can in that one day. Then the next day you will learn something new. It's like building blocks, and even though the pace can get a bit stressful at times, in the end you'll be glad you hung in there. You are needed and wanted.

Welcome Tonya :)

:) Welcome.Just keep going at becoming a nurse the best way for you.People gave me all kinds of Ideas on how I should go about becoming a nurse.I choosed the best way for me.It will have taken me 5 years,when all said and done to become an RN.I will still have 20 plus years till I can retire so look foward to becoming a nurse.Then I will continue my education to see how many Degrees I can get in those 20 years.Good Luck and once again Welcome to AllNurses:)

Just wanted to tell you welcome to the BB and wish you all the best. I am an LPN because of personal things like caring for handicapped child and limited finances it took me 2.5 yrs to get my LPN. Now I am working on my RN thru distance learning that too I imagine will take me more time than I would like but every step is one step closer. Just like me you too will get there in the way that is best for you. Again welcome to our family.
