Thank you! This makes me feel so much better about my journey. I'm prepared to go right into the bridge program online, I was just hoping to be able to get something that would give me that first year experience to work towards the dream job. Thank you for the reassurance!

Thank you for the reply and solid advice, @iamtoonice I'm probably getting prematurely anxious. Going to start with some prerequisites and see how I do. I did very well in school before but it's been about 4 years so I might be rusty! Thanks again

Hey guys, I am in desperate need of advice. I want to change my career and become a nurse in Los Angeles. I am aware that it is a very saturated field and becoming nervous about if this will be possible for me to get a job. I have a bachelor's in another field so I am unable to get any financial aid. I also learned that there is a cap on what I can take out for loans. Ugh. I saw that another option would be to go for my ADN and sit for the RN and then possibly do the RN to BSN bridge program online. I would hate to get my ADN, pass the RN test and then not be able to find a job in LA because I do not have a BSN or any work experience to help support the ADN. I have applied to several hospitals to start volunteering and about to start my first semester of pre-reqs, but would love some advice and direction because I am scared I could make a big mistake. Has anyone successfully gotten a job with ADN? Perhaps I should put in process of getting BSN? Or go in person and attempt to charm their pants off/beg mercilessly? I appreciate any and all words of wisdom. J
