Oh boy is that true Cypress lets you in up to 10 yrs after you have done prerequs Ive done 3 out of 5 for lvn to Rn but that was 8 yrs ago> Anyone in same boat Im fine with the 30 unit opt out program I just need some possitive feedback. Went to GWC today and they advise STRONGY not to do lvn to rn non degree program Im out of time though Im 46 with my atamony/phys and micro done 8 yrs ago YIKES Honestly its very scary

Yes iam at a CC and i may just do my 30 unit opt out program No degree but will b an RN

Yes its 100k for a private school no prequs actually its maybe 130k? IDK no straight answers on that So 5 yrs Wow thats not bad I dont think I could do all the prerequs in 1 year? Im headed to CC next week to see about LVN to RN I just hear hooror stories of waiting lists even if you are an LVN Well Thank You Again for your Time! Its nice to get POSSITIVE feedback :)

Awwh thank you ! Just starting from scratch at 46 Well not scratch i have an LVN and 12 units that I can not use is hard But not impossible I do not regret being a stay at home mom I have a very well rounded teen age boy and he is an awesome kid. I think it may tke 3-6 yrs in a CC and a private seems o be anywhere from 100k to ?? Cant seem to get a straight answer on that and 100k is crazy. But its a BSN in 3 yrs start to finish. all prereqs included Im 99% sure Im headed back to school. And yes tutor is a great idea! I can find some LVN jobs but the money doesnt seem worth it. Oh I forgot to ask How long did it take you start-finish? Thank you for your possitive words

Thank you I do need to go to info session Just want to hear from students tho too Thank you for all your help:)

So how much with your prereqs done? Are there grants I hear yes and no. I guess its all so variable like nursing lol I did 12 units a few well more than 5 yrs ago so my anatomy/phys and micro dont even count and the fact that I have my LVN doesnt really help with BSN But in 3 years carreer insted of wondering at 48 What am I going to do? Im interested in laser/plastic surgery everyone i know seems to enjoy it and it does pay well. Nope Im not out to save the world But I am interested in good paying carreer I am a single mom at 46 have you talked to any grads?

Oh it sounds like you are questioning the same as me Did you talk to anyone at GWC too? Are you an LVN? Do you have any prerequs done?

Thats aewsome !

I am in Socal and would pursue laser and derm field There are jobs for that now But here in Ca you must have your RN Anyone outthere doing this? I do have a few local nurse friends that are. Just trying to figure out best LVN-RN route Anyone in or have done WCC ? And does anyone know how long the waiting list is at GWC LVN-RN Now in 1010? Thank you

Oh these posts are just wondeful. Thank you all for sharring. I am 46 I have my LVN and went on to do micro and antam/phys . I stopped I got caught up in my life and raising my son as a single mother. I have had a few jobs in doctors offices but only part time, by choice. Now Im thinking I should be back in school, like most of us. My Question is do I start again with my prerequs because my 12 units have "expired" in the nursing field OR do I just go for excelerated BSN at WCC. 3yrs at 100 grand or Maybe 6 or so at GWC? I keep going back and forth. Anyone with same delema? I figure if i have a 5 yr plan School in 3 and 2 yrs of work to pay off loan?? Ahhh Help Im so overwhelmed Thanks for any and all input

How much do you save by doing prerequisites? And what classes are they? Thank you

I am also looking into WCU I have my LVN lisence but I did not work as an LVN and forget so much of the field.. I even went on and took my anatomy/phy and micro but its been past the 5 yrs to receive credit. Im thinking of just starting over and doing the BSN . Im over 40, a single mother and need some more "security". The price tag is huge but I feel in 3 years Ill be set, at least some what. Im pretty sure you can negociate loan payments after you graduate. I have also seen some good posts this year about the school and feel if you are not a shy student you can get what you put into it. Still considering but I dont want to be in same spot 3 yr from now. Any thoughts from students doing well or AND students over 40 starting over and possibly a little scared or terrified... would be greatly appreciated
