New To nursing - Fastest way to become an RN

Published

anyone in the southern cali area? Thats where i am located.

Hello everyone,

Im new to this forum, and to nursing in general. My goal is to become an RN and im here for useful information, advice, and guidance. Ive been told first to become an LVN then to transition to an RN. Is this a good base to start with? Am I on the right track? All thoughts are welcome. Thanks.

yes that is one choice but you have many choices to get to an RN!

1. you go get your LVN (mostly at CC's) then you go into a LVN-RN brigde program at a university

2. you can go straight to an RN by going to get a nursing cert/diploma, or ADN at (most likely a CC too) and then if you want go get your BSN

3. go straight to a university and get your BSN and then take the board of nursing exam and you become an RN (thats what i am currently doing)

there are endless options

it just depends on your time and where you are and where you want to go

just choices what you think is best!

GOOD LUCK! :D

What about if I have all my pre requisites for the RN? What are my options then?

if you have them done then WAY TO GO! :w00t:

well then you should just about be able to into any RN program, if your GPA is cool then go for whichever option best applies to you

you can be an LVN then go to an RN program or go straight and get an nursing diploma/cert. or ADN and get your RN instead of getting an LVN

or go straight and get a BSN and then an RN

those are the only ways i can think of so

whichever best fits your needs then do so

anymore questions IM me :rolleyes:
