I currently work at a hospital in my area and was told by one of the RN's who recently graduated that the program she was in at Polk Community College is now requiring that when you apply to the RN program you have to be working in a patient care job. Is this the case where any of you may live??? I currently work in registration/admissions and to change to a patient care position I would not be able to live on wages they pay. If I enroll in an LPN program & then bridge to RN I could then do it. The only thing I am having a problem with is going to school 5 days a week & working Sat & Sun for 12 hours each day & I have a 15 month old right now. I wouldn't be able to get into a program until August of next year. I know you can accomplish anything if you want it bad enough but I don't want to be blind to the fact that I will have no free time for 1 year. Is it worth it???? You bet it is!!! I am deteremined that I want to do this even though I am scared.
