https://www.ichs.edu/areas-of-study/associate-degree-in-nursing#program-description This school in FL. It takes about 13 months to complete if you already have your prerequisites.

The University of South Alabama. It is $594/unit for 69 units. That's approximately $40,986. It's completely online. However, you may need to visit the campus once the entire time you're there. It's about 3 years. I believe you get your DNP. This is ...

This reply is long overdue. I was formerly under the impression that pharmacy was a lot more rewarding than nursing, and so I truly didn't understand why you felt the way you did. I have a family member who is a pharmacist, who has expressed a desire...

Does anyone know if this school requires (admitted) students to commute or is it online only? I’m having a hard time finding this information on their website. Thank you.

Keep the job you have now. Don't make any major changes while in nursing school. When you graduate, be willing to get in where you can to gain the needed experience. I have a friend who didn't have any work experience but was able to ...

If you don't have experience now, don't sweat it. It costs money anyway. I would recommend enjoying your free time while you can because nursing school is quite tedious. Besides, after the first semester of nursing, you should be able to take the CNA...

I agree with poster above suggesting you get your CNA certificate. I recommend a private (accredited) school because some of them are as short as 3 weeks. Community colleges take more time. The problem with getting your LVN is that it will take an...

Sounds good. Looks like you have your priorities in check. Agreed. However, something has got to give especially when it comes to making a transition. Convenience may just not be an option. If you're not willing to mak...

I agree with this. If you haven't already gotten certified, do it. Find a short program that doesn't take more than 5 weeks. Get a job and see what the world of nursing is really like while also getting a paycheck.

I'm really curious as to why a pharmacist would switch careers to become a nurse.

It’s great you’re quite involved. The truth is that youth don’t have it all figured out and like you said, by the time she does, it may be much harder to stay on track. With children, marriage, mortgage etc, she may never actually return or may retur...

@Quantum Entity I also want to recommend El Monte Rosemead and Hacienda La puente. They have the LVN program and they’re cheaper than NOCROP.

Excellent advice. Taking a mental break is necessary before the NCLEX. I took one as well.

Three years? That's a long time. I'm sorry about that. I agree with the other suggestions regarding looking for an LVN program at a community college. One thing I want to advise is to check how much LVNs make in your area. You say you make $20/hour a...

Here are some low cost LVN schools for people interested Hacienda La Puente. Cost for LVN: $7,637 https://www.hlpae.com/healthcareers El Monte Rosemead. Cost of LVN: $4,100 This is a 13 month program https://www.emuhsd.org/Pa...

If you keep doing this type of work, I'm afraid to tell you that your body will give way over time. You will end up being in constant pain. I would recommend speaking up about this, or going elsewhere.

Is there a possibility to get the LVN done there and then bridge to the RN program? Is there another program you can try?

I’m not the best at math too. It took a lot of practice. Thankfully, my college has a math and science building and because I wasn’t working at the time, I spent hours there doing homework, getting help, and going for workshops. I also used Youtube a...

I wouldn’t recommend West Coast. I had a brief super secret stint there. I think you should read reviews about the school before you go there; From over crowding to disorganization, the problems are endless. Think of the time spent getting your pre-r...

I know how hard it is to get into those classes you really need and it’s indeed frustrating. Keep your GPA up and take as many units you can (towards your major) so you can have priority registration. I attended Chaffey as well. Make sure to ta...

I would recommend finding out if those stand alone classes will transfer to Chaffey. Is Pacific College regionally accredited? You can also try other CCs like SBVC, RCC, and see if you can get into their science classes.

How long are we talking? The reason I say this is because after your first semester in nursing school, you can actually take the CNA exam. You might as well enjoy your free time because nursing school is stressful and you will have little to no free ...

Minor pet peeve: people commenting on my food. I mean you can say that it smells good, but do I want to engage in conversation about what I'm eating? no. Heating broccoli in the microwave is a bad idea.

Not every single nursing role is bedside. In psych nursing, there's barely any need to do things like that. Not that they won't come up once in a while, it's just not as common.
