1. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

   RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

   I double checked CSULA and I'd have to literally transfer and take like more 6 university courses. I'm almost done with my ADN prerequisites. After this semester, I have like two more classes to ace and I can sign up for nursing school. The ones I ha...

   Do per diem nurses chose the days they can work also? Do you basically get to choose went to work and get tk work on your own time?

   Does online actually teach you the skills to be a BSN? I feel like the in person classes are more helpful. But wow it's nice that your workplace has tuition assistance! Yeah when the time comes I'll basically have to work part time then go to school.

   RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

   I'm keeping that in mind and making it work. Thank you. It's not something that I'll have to think about anytime soon anyways because I'm aiming for my ADN right now. But you're right. When the time comes to get my BSN I have to embrace working and g...

   RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

   "Per diem"? As in everyday? Is it better if I can just work a few days and then go to class? I mean I could but I rather not. Going to school and going to work at the same time is very difficult for me. But you're saying that if I went back to get my...

   Whoa that's nice! But I'd rather do in person classes so I was thinking of working temporarily then taking time off for school. Do you suggest that? :0

   Hey everyone, I'm back! I did talk to my parents a few days ago after reading all the comments and advice. My dad assured me that where we live, nurse grads are hired. He told me there's now a shortage of nurses because the older nurses are retiring....

9. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

   RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I understand that. I think it helps for me anyways cause it gives me the gist of working in a hospital and gets me valid work experience when applying for jobs. But I'm keeping in mind how hard it is. Well nursing itself is known to be hard.

10. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I already chose not to become an LVN and decided to become certified as a CNA since it only takes a month and can actually get me hospital experience when applying as an RN.

    Thanks. I'm glad I made this post actually. It helps a lot.

12. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah. I'm hoping I can land a job out of L.A. and maybe in the rural areas where there's easier opportunities for work. I heard that CNA counts as experience if you work in a hospital so I'm definitely taking that route, as it's gonna be a while till...

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Tiny question for the ones who suggested me the CNA option: How can I make that count as experience on a resume for an RN?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you but again, I wasn't planning to do it all by myself. My decision regardless, has to be talked to with my parents because they financially support me. In fact, I wanted to convince them so they can financially support my decision. I'm also c...

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've read all of the comments and you guys have a very great point. It'd be better cost wise and time wise if I went straight to ADN. I'm definitely going to get certified as a CNA and work for experience and pay. Considering that it's just one class...
