Hey everyone! I am a military wife about to be stationed in fairfield, ca. Im trying to decide which route would be best for me in becoming an rn. I am only going to be here for two years and we won't know where we are going after that for a long time. I was thinking of option 1 to go to a community college to save money and get my prereqs done (I have no college experience yet so i would have to complete prereqs for my prereqs) and risk having to be on a waiting list in the next place we pcs to for a nursing program. And hope they have the same prereqs. OR option 2 would be to spend lots of money on an accelerated program to become an lvn in 1 year and then to an lvn-rn program when we move or before if i have time to. But I know i wouldnt have to wait to be on a list or get prereqs done. HELP ME!!

Since you stated you don't have any college experience I would take a couple pre reqs at the local community college. Just to get your feet wet and see if it's really what you want before you take out a loan for the LVN program.
