   Adding my 2cents. I personally did an ABSN program. Although cal state programs are cheaper, from my understanding they take longer from acceptance to start. An ABSN or even a school like west coast can start as early as a few months after acceptance...

    How 2 Become a Nurse replied to Stressed.Student.Nurse's topic in ADN/BSN

    @Stressed.Student.Nurse As your name implies you are stressed. First chill out, if you did well in the last semesters you'll be fine. Review what you've learned by skimming over and cementing some knowledge. Meds suck and in nursing school it's hard ...
