Hello Everyone! I am currently trying to find the best route to get my BSN. I live in Washington state and am on a 2 year waiting list for a 1 year LPN program. I figured I would get my LPN license and then do the bridge from LPN to BSN. I am also thinking of, in the mean time, getting my CNA for the experience. I adventually would like to be a travel nurse since I like to well...travel :nuke: . I am worried that I am in the wrong program. I am willing to relocate to find a shorter waiting period in order to get my education. If anyone out there has any advice on what I should do or know of any good schools to go to with shorter waiting periods please tell me. It will be great appreciated. Thanks so much!! Chrissy

How long did it take for you to get into a LPN program?

Hello all!! My name is Chrissy and I am currently trying to go to school for nursing, I want to get my BSN and be a travel nurse. From what I have been told and from what I see you guys post it sounds like becoming a CNA is the way to go. I am so glad I found all of you, since before I came to this site I was very confused on how to obtain my degree. I am thinking about moving to another state, one that the programs are not so competitive. The one I am enrolled in now has a 2 year waiting list for a 1 year LPN program with very little prereqs required. If anyone has any advice on any good nursing programs just about anywhere in the country hit me up! Thank you so much!!

Hello Everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chrissy and I very interested in going to school to become a nurse. I currently working as a cosmetologist onboard the Pride of Hawaii, a cruise ship that runs around the Hawiian Islands. I love my job but this is my second contract and I wish to go back to school in May. I live in Washington state, in the Seattle area. I have researched options and what schools are out there and I am currently torn between going to a Community College first or straight to a University in hopes of obtaining my BSN. I adventully would like to be put in an agency and do the travel nursing thing. Plus I was wondering if it was possible to get part of my schooling when I am out at sea, maybe online. I am very ambitious and excitied in going back to school, any advice or information would be greatly appriecated! Thank you so Much!
