I am 19 going into 2nd year of college. It's going to take me 5 years( 1 down 4 left to go) to get a 2 year degree (adn) because of prerequisites. Im going to a community college so I don't have to take out loans. Then I'm assuming to do an online bridge program for my bsn will be around 2 years. This is really discouraging and I feel like it's a ridiculous amount of time since people only spend 4 years for the exact same degree. Idk if it's just stupid to continue this route but what if it's my only option? Should I do it anyway since I wanna be a nurse. All other schools by me are way more expensive yet faster and would require loans. What do I do. Another thing that makes this so discouraging is all I see on here is how hard it is to find a job.
