Hi everyone! I am about to complete my second year of college at a Central Washington University and I am feeling very frustrated and confused. I am a first-generation student, and I am finding myself lost in this process. My academic advisor seems to know even less than I do. I am willing to do the extremely difficult course work associated with nursing school, but I do not know what programs to look at. I spent my freshman year of college at Washington State University, working on pre-medicine classes, but I have since changed schools and reevaluated my career path. I am now a pre-nursing student. I am nearly done with the typical nursing pre-requisites and "general education requirements" for Central Washington University, but I do not know what to do next. I would like to get into WSU-Spokane, but I understand that it is very competitive. I have no degree or certification, and I don't have money to burn, so I am looking for the most efficient path to getting my BSN or something similar to this. I have found many RN to BSN programs, but I do not have my RN license. Is there a name for a program that I should be looking for? Do I have to get my RN to get into a BSN program? Is the time and money I have spent fulfilling general education requirements all for nothing? I am honestly at the point where I don't even know what questions to ask, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
