I just moved from Seattle to Saint George Utah. I honestly love the Seattle area. There are always things to do and always things to explore. The rain does get tiring after awhile. It's kind of nice to live in Utah where I get sunshine 300 days a year vs Seattle which gets about 150 days of sun. A lot of the time it was really cloudy there. I wouldn't worry about getting sunburned. You're safe year round until the summer (which is gorgeous). We tend to get a lot more days of sun in the summer.

I'm actually doing it all through one university. Their pathway includes getting your LPN and ASN before BSN. There are other options the school also has, such as straight to BSN. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get an LPN first? I feel like I might gain more experience in the nursing field this way.

I'm currently 17 years old and I'm trying to figure out where I want to go with my nursing career. I got my CNA certificate about 6 months ago and I love working as a CNA. I do want some advice on a particular topic. My overall goal career wise is to become an RN or even a NP. After high school I plan on getting my LPN, then ASN, then a BSN. Is this a good idea? Some say I should go straight to a BSN, but I want to start earning money faster so I can pay rent, car insurance, tuition, etc.
