Specializes in med-surg, OR.

I think if you want to become an RN, just go for it right from the start. The older you get, you may find that life can sometimes get in the way of your dreams, and you may find yourself not be able to finish that RN degree that you once set out to do. So, if you have the option to do so, just do the RN program.
