i want to get into nursing asap because i desparately need to make more $,i must add that this is not the reason i chose nursing.i really need to work and the community college i'm attending accomodates my schedule but there is a 2 year waiting list for adn which makes the total length 4-4 1/2 years.i could go to a local university for bsn and still be able to work but i would have to take 2- 2 1/2 years of pre-reqs and earn at least a 3.5 gpa to get in the nursing portion and i'm not sure if i could earn grades that good.there are 3 other schools that offer lpn but one is not yet approved for federal loans,the second lpn school i could not work at all because neither day or evening classes in this program leaves enough time for anything else,oh and it's very expensive.the third lpn school is closest,cheapest and not to mention no waitng lists but public transportation does not get me nearly close enogh without walking for an hour after getting off the bus.i do know for sure that i want to go all the way to masters,either nnp or crna,so i need 2 0r 3 years icu experience depending on which specialty i choose.i don't know which school and program to choose and it's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!! please give me some advice,it would be greatly appreciated.:thnkg::hdvwl:
