my_inheritance

Through all of highschool I planned on being a teacher, then a week before I graduated I had a change of heart, and suddenly more than anything I wanted to be a nurse! I'm getting ready to start my second year of community college, I've taken Biology, Microbiology, and will be taking Anatomy this fall. I've had really great professors at the school and have learned A LOT!!! I always wanted to work with children as well, so teaching seemed the best option, but I've realized since then that I also really love science and medicine! I don't have any experience with school loans, but I know that you can get a large amount of money just through FASFA, and sometimes through pell grants, usually more than enough to pay for your classes, gas, textbooks ect. Going through community college has been a huge help financially, at my school it's only $26 per unit, and you can transfer easily to a University's nursing program to get your BSN. I've had only a good experience at my CC, I've always enjoyed the professors, and haven't ever felt that I was getting a "lesser" class than somebody else at a university. Good luck!!

haven't received my official grades yet, but am expecting b's in micro and english . hopefully next semester will be better . sooooo happy to be done finally though!! now on to anatomy, nutrition, psych, and anthro in the fall. :)

Okay, great, thanks for the information! The generic program is the basic LVN program...correct? For the generic program do you have to have all of your pre-reqs done before you apply for the waitlist? Does anyone know if Palomar accepts CLEPS and/or Dantes? I was hoping to test out of Anatomy and Physiology since I aced both of those classes in high school. Thank you so much to anybody who answers!!! I really appreciate any help/advice:)

I was on the Palomar college website and it sounded like to me that they just have the program for LVN's to become RN's. Is this true, or I am missing something?? I have just graduated high school and was hoping to go into a LVN program.....I was also wondering if in California you first have to be a CNA, before you can become and LVN? I am still just looking at all of my options, if anyone has any advice let me know!!!! Thanks!
