I am sick of living in Texas, Right now I live in El Paso, which is my hometown, but I've lived in Austin and Houston, and though I liked Austin its changed so much I wouldn't want to live there again. I'm looking for something new and more scenic. We have about two different weather types here, sunny and windy. I want something new and cold

Hi! I just graduated from nursing school and I already took my NLCEX and got my license. I am currently looking for a job here in TX to save money to move to CO. I am looking to move to the Littleton/Lakewood area. I just have some questions, and maybe you guys can help me. 1) Are there many jobs for LVNs/LPNs? I don't mind working in any facility 2) Where are the best places to apply for someone out of state? 3) How much money would be a safe amount to move out there with? ( I was looking to save up at least 5-7000 to sort of have as a safety net if I can't find a job right away) 4) Does it help if I'm bi-lingual? 5) How soon should I apply for endorsement in CO? I know Tx and Co are compact states, but should I start applying now, or closer to when I move? Any help you guys can give, and any extra info and advice would be really helpful Thanks in advance!:bowingpur:bow:

Thank you for your help. I was thinking of taking some science courses on the side just in case no harm in extra education right? and the reason I ask about the two different courses is because I have found programs that let you go from an LVN straight to a BSN, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything along the way.

I am currently a nursing student going for my LVN at a vocational/technical school. I don't graduate until August, but I like to be prepared so I have been researching my options now as to what to do later. Are an ADN and a BSN both RN's? If so is it better to just go for a bsn than waste money and time going for an adn then a bsn? My other thing is I really want to go to medical school to become a forensic pathologist, and I thought about getting my bachelor's in criminal justice, but will having degrees from technical schools versus colleges affect my chances of getting in to med school? I have asked the admissions dept. at Texas Tech and they say I need to set up an interview to determine the education values when I send my application. Does anyone out there have any advice??? I know I am on a path to a lot of years of schooling, I just want to make sure the schooling I get now isn't wasted.
