HELP!! vocational school or???

[jwylde]

So I am currently in my first semester at a community college (to eventually be in nursing...) The way it is looking right now, I have approximately a year and a half of remedials (english, psych, chem, bio) I know education is never wasted but I am also trying to get training to be an RN as fast as possible (I need out of my current job, BAD!) So anyways, I am looking for vocational schools that start you off in a 2 year program (and starts STRAIGHT INTO NURSING, which is the whole point anyway) I can not find anything in NYC??? HELP!!

It is the same training I would imagine, an RN is an RN, reguardless. I am just wondering why in this huge city I can't find this option???

Thanks in advance

I would go to the community college. Since you have a lot of Faculty to back you up if something goes wrong. Also you would have a degree and that can build to other future things in nursing.

Vocational Schools probably have less financial aid and less administration. So if you have a problem with the program. You have no recourse. Tutoring resources might also not be as accessible.

An RN is an RN yes. I buy that argument. However think long and hard about nursing. You have to have thick skin.

All the general public cares about is weather your Nurse or a Nurse Practitioner.

All though expanding one's nursing education is never a bad thing.
