Thank you all so much, i was shocked with the amount of helpful responses in such a short period of time. Excelsior sounds perfect for my current situation but i do live and plan to live in California. I am now looking into challenging the LVN board, it seems to be the most obtainable thing. Is there any form of distance education that california will recognize?

I am a Hospital Corpsman who has served in the military for about 2.5 years. Because of my location and 10 hour days, i cant quite make it to classes on any basis. I have almost no idea where to start to aqcuire an RN license. The RN world alone is new to me but i have seen the responsibilities an RN can carry. Questions: Is there an online program that caters to acquiring a ADN? I have looked through several posts and cannot find a solid answer. As a Hospital Corpsman we can obtain a Medical Assistant or challenge the LVN board to become that. Are any of these worthwhile to getting closer to becoming an RN. Right now my plan is to just take online courses to try and knock out the bulk of the prerequisites to become an RN so when i am a civilian i wont be at square one. I googled nursing degrees and could not find the core classes required to become an RN. Where is this information readily available? I go to the university of phoenix and my counselor is no help to me. I appreciate any help Thank you.
