Looking for Advice!

[MeghanCheyenne]

Hello again!

First off, I want to say thank you to the people that have replied to previous threads, the advice is very much appreciated as I go through this exciting process.

I start my prerequisites in less than a week now! So that's exciting.

Most likely, I won't be able to graduate until 2020.. I've been seeing so many posts about "2020 BSN Requirements".. I already plan to go on to a bridge program after I graduate anyway, but it's kind of hard not to get nervous about it. I don't expect to be handed my dream job, I know that takes time. Just feeling discouraged because right now we can only afford an associates degree.. And I won't even be done with it until 2020 :/

Thanks in Advance.

There is no requirement for BSN by 2020. There are suggestions and recommendations (and have been since I became and LPN in 1977). No requirements.

Best wishes as you start your journey.

If it's what you want, go for it and try to enjoy the process.
