Just Started Pre-Reqs! Hi!

Hello everyone! I just started this semester at Northampton Community College. So far so good, I just registered for my classes yesterday so I'm looking to start pretty soon. Before I fly through my classes ( time flies when you're having fun, haha! D: ) I wanted to ask any current nursing students if I should try to go for the LPN program before the RN? My main goal was to go for an associate's degree in RN, but the last thing I heard, 700 applicants were waiting for the 65-70 slots for the nursing program. That seems like such a hard fish to catch! I'm wondering if I should remain hopeful, earn straight A's in all pre-reqs, and still continue pursuing for my ADN in RN? What is everyone's perspective? Thanks for your input, you guys! :)

    you'll find many, many threads on this board discussing the merits of a BSN vs ADN vs ADN - BSN bridge vs LPN etc.

    Essentially it boils down to what is available in your area, how much time and money you have to spend on your education, the types of degrees that employers are looking for in your area and your career goals.

    No one answer is right for everyone, and no matter what path you choose, you still have to pass the NCLEX at the end, and you'll be an entry-level nurse.

    Right now, study hard and get good grades, and get some experience in healthcare, whether paid or unpaid.

    Best of luck!
