jrwoodall79 - DCCC is currently holding info sessions. Go to their website and find out when the next one is. I know they are accepting applications into the program for 2008 starting in Aug 2007. Top NET scores get seats. You can start getting all of the Admissions requirements done over the summer and be ready to go... NET test/College registration/background checks/etc. I believe they accepted about 2/3 rd's of the applicants this past year. It's good that you are getting your prereq's out of the way...it will make your life easier.

Phillycat26 - If you have the experience you might consider going for it. If your still not sure, your on the right track with taking Spring classess and LPN in the Fall. CAT Brandywine fills up quick though, if you haven't already - call them to get your addmissions paperwork and schedule the NET asap. My initial thought was to go for the RN and get it out of the way...although that would be nice, I need to work as I am going to school, so a 1 year program sounds better to me. This way at least I can change jobs and work as an LPN as I go for my RN and hopefully my new employer will pay for some of the cost!

i have been going throught the same thing for 3 years! i became a cna to check out the healthcare world, then starting taking pre-req classes at dccc (at a snails pace, but completed 4 classes already) i checked out cat brandywine and finally decided to go the lpn route. i am going to take the net test in two weeks! i think going for the lpn is a good start. especially if you can't commit to a 2 year program right off. at least i can start working as an lpn then go for my rn. for me it is a great decision...that's that one is made:uhoh3: good luck with your decision.
