Hi everyone! I'm new & in need of advice!!

Specializes in orthopedics.

As I put in my title I am new to allnurses.com. I am a registered medical assistant x 5 years now with(what I feel like) several general college credits to back it up. I work full-time at an orthopedic office, but have wanted to fulfill my dream of becoming an RN. The only problem is..working and working around my schedule. I've looked at every college I can possibly think of and almost all of them do not do evening hours or you have to already be licensed as an RN(which I'm not). Even though I have a long career in the medical field, it doesn't seem to hold any water to being accepted into these schools. I'm looking for an RN associate degree program. I am more than happy to accept any suggestions, comments, help anything at this point please!!!!!!!

Hi, Have you checked the local community colleges? The one that I am aplplying for does not have an evening degree program but there is another close by that does have an evening/weekend program that begins every spring. The evening programs do not seem to be common, which is a bummer for people who don't have fllexible schedules.

Good Luck, I hope you find one.:nuke:
