Hello everyone, I am starting some Nursing programs starting in January 2018, so I have a few questions. I am in a program for displaced homemakers and they want me to do a stackable degree, it is not mandatory but they want me to have extra learning to make my resume look good like medical training 1st , CNA then LPN or medical training, LPN then RN. I am not a young woman anymore and to attempt the second option is a little out of my reach lol, so I was going to go for the 1st option because it will take me 1 year and 8 months to complete instead of 2 years and 10 months but I want to get started in September 2018 and go straight to LPN and skip CNA. Is this a smart path to take or should I go ahead and do the stackable degrees? The 2nd question is what reference books should I purchase, I was told they wont provide them, that I must acquire them on my own, So far the only reference book I have purchased is Mosby's Dictionary, they mentioned I need a encyclopedia, drug reference, anatomy and a reference on diseases. So any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for your time!
