Hi, I am posting this just to get some advice as far as the different paths to becoming a nurse. There is no doubt about it that this is the career I am destined to do and I know for sure I can. Right now, I am attending Oakland Community College. This is my second year of prerequisites. I have been getting nothing but A's in my required courses so far. Now I am stuck because I have considered transferring to OU to go straight for my bachelors since I would like to be in management position. But counselors have told me that getting the associates degree and doing the RN to BSN program would be more convenient since I have a 1 year old baby and kind of low income. With route I'm going now, I could apply at OCC and MCC by next year just to give me better chances. or i can do an extra semester of prerequisites and transfer to a University. But I am steady thinking about the cost and time since i will have to work to support my child. I appreciate if any nurses or future nurses could give me their opinions, advice, and insights. Thank you. :redbeathe
