How are you doin'? I am finally getting out of the military for good! I was in the Marines until 2002 after 12 years. I then joined the Guard and have been to Iraq twice with them! I think I deployed more in 3 years of the Nat. Guard than 12 years in the Marines. I also grew up just south of Canton. As far as ADN programs, I am pretty sure that Stark State is the only one in the Akron/Canton area. BUT, I do believe that the Kent branch in New Philly has an ADN program. I have chosen Stark State because it is very close to where I work and where I will live when I get back. Definitely a convenience choice for me. The drive to New Philly would kill me having to do it everyday and still work the screwed up hours I do. Take it easy Navy guy!

I will be starting my prereq's at Stark State in January when I get back from Iraq. So, if you are familiar with Stark State's program in Canton/Akron, let me know your opinions. I have mostly good about it, but nothing to detailed or whatever about it.

This is my first post, so I hope I am doing it right!! Anyway, I just turned 35 and will be starting my prereq's in Jan when I get back from Iraq. I am looking to going into an ADN at a community college by next fall(2006). I am getting a little worried about my choice because it is coming up fast. So, is an ADN a good way to go to be an RN?? I have had good things about the program at the college I will be going to and it is very very convient for me to go there also.
