I will be a great nurse someday nobody will tell me any different, whether I'm young and indecisive or not... the majority of college students change their majors 3 times. Being in your 20's is about finding yourself. I know what I want, I just need to find my best route. About the Ivy Tech situation, I have talked to a nursing adviser and I would be able to finish the LPN and go straight into the RN program (if I get in) without the semester in between. I have talked to many advisor's and checked out many programs curriculum's but I feel like those who have been there know best, thank you all for your help thus far =)

I'm technically a junior in college wanting to do nursing, here are my stats, not to be confused with STAT... haha, sorry about the nerdy sense of humor: -I currently have approximately 93 hours toward a miscellaneous undergrad degree... I have many of the pre-reqs required for any nursing school but would like to retake A&P because I'm unsatisfied. Most credits will transfer because they're from Purdue and IUSB. I am considering either going to Ivy Tech South Bend for my ASN (I would do the two 8 week anatomies since I'm already familiar and apply for the LPN because it starts in the spring of 09... and as I understand I can apply into the ASN when I'm done with the LPN and finish at the same time as I would if I had applied for the ASN in the fall of 09). This way I can start clinical as early as possible and it lines up with the ASN program so, why not? This route I'd be looking at graduation Fall '11 (that seems like a long time for a "two" year degree when I've been in school for 3... wouldn't it be easier for me to just go for a bachelors?). Second, I'm wondering if it'd be better for me to pay a little more money and go to Bethel, Ancilla, Goshen... etc. Either way I'm afraid I'll be looking at two semesters of A&P and any location, which takes up a lot of time. I have considered looking into IUSB and figuring out how much longer it would take me to earn a general education degree and do an accelerated BSN program. I'm also wondering about MedTech and whether I'd be able to go on and get a BSN if I went there?? I guess with all that rambling my main question is, where can I go to get done the quickest?? I am willing to put forth the time and effort... I'm just ready to get out of here. Haha, I'm sure there is a support group for people like me. ANY information would be wonderful. Thank you all =)
