Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Ok so i am looking to take the TEAS to get in Vista since they just opened up their LVN program and it is not far from where I live. The cost of the program is 28,000 but the military is paying for my school. Anyways, i have heard alot of bad stories about trade schools but I love trade schools because it's faster to get in the program without waiting for eternity for the nursing college programs, co reqs and pre reqs to get done so I am taking this route so I can start working right away since I have little ones that depend on me. Anyways was it hard to get a job after you completed your school from a trade school and btw i am looking forward to going through our local college for my ADN after i graduate and work as an LVN. What was your experience like in trade school? Did you like the program? Did you get job after passing NCLEX?

awww thank you very much hugs:)

I really admire how you took everyone's feedback (even though we all basically said don't do the thing you want to do) and considered it. That isn't a skill everyone has, and it is the kind of thing that can help you reach all your goals. I wish the best for you on your journey to becoming a nurse! :)

I agree! Regardless of what you decide, that shows a great degree of maturity and adaptability, which will certainly benefit you regardless of where you end up (as opposed to the 90% of anonymous internet posters who would have said 'I'm being bullied, you're all so rude and jaded, nurses eat their young, I wouldn't want you as my nurse.' :rolleyes:)

I agree for the most part with the prior posters. Given the cost of the program, be extra careful to ensure that it's legit (and that you're not being taken advantage of by a for-profit unaccredited school). You may find that putting in the extra time to earn the ADN/RN will open more doors and give you more bang for your buck (or in your case, a better return on the investment of your time and hard work). However, it's totally fine if the LPN will work better for your life circumstances.

Also, thank you for your service to our country!!! Best of luck with whatever you decide. :)

@adventure_rn awww thank you very much and he had a point and i never looked at it that way at first but when i sat back and thought about it he was totally right!!Thank you dear *hugs*

I agree with previous posters, for $28k I would much rather look into using a GI bill on an ADN program instead. In the long run it will be worth it.
