I am on a path to becoming a RN.. and am starting from scratch... i waited too long (5 years since high school) and am saying to myself "Im 23 and where is my life going" "What do I want to do as a career" My passion is helping people and the RN field was brought up to my attention and have done some research as well...
So here I am... im starting in spring 09 for my pre-q classes and would like to know how long they usually take to do before the nursing program??
Well by the end of the spring semester, all of my pre reqs will be finished. So 3 semesters...and that's only going full time during one of those. HOWEVER. We also have co requisites which don't have to be completed for admission but its the smart thing to do to get them out of the way before you start the program. So I will have done by the end of Fall 09 and hopefully be starting the program the semester after.
Depends on how many you need. Usually 2 years I'd say if you're starting with no college classes already taken. Mines only taking a year because I already have a degree in something else.
