Just saying

I realize nobody really cares about his, but I like to talk about decisions I make, so...

I decided to go with Keiser because while taking pre-req's I would be automatically accepted into the nursing program. One requirement is the TEAS. I have been REALLY stressing over this. I took it last week and failed parts of it. I am scheduled to retake if Friday, but have been terrified I would fail it and not only be out another $75, but also unable to retake it until September, meaning I wouldn't be able to start until next summer. I figured if I failed again, I would go ahead and take pre-req's now so I cold have the out of the way for next summer

After getting loads of advice on here and talking with my hubby, I have decided to go with my local CC, which has a nursing program as well. I will take all pre-req's there, probably starting in August. The CC is loads cheaper than Keiser, which is a private university. I have to take mulitiple classes at onece, which will be completely new to me.

Anyhow, I just wanted to say it outloud.

Specializes in Critical care.

I am surprised to see to see so many thinking that ADN through CC is the way to go? I keep flip flopping between getting my ADN at my current CC where I am doing all my pre reqs and gen eds or applying to a private school to get my BSN. I am concerned about money as my husband is pulling the load while I am in school and we have 4 kids...one of the reasons ADN at CC was appealing but then I decided getting it over and done with in one shot and have my BSN at completion was the way to go...

Ohhhhh decisions, decisions...this is so stressful!

Yes it is! I will be happy when I am in class, working my way to my goal.

Now, I do have another question: can you not get your bsn through a cc? I see others saying they would rather get their bsn than their adn. Does that mean if you go to a university you get the bsn? AND, what is the difference?

There are many, many more questions, but these will do for now lol!
