Hello, I'm interested in studying to become a nurse but feel a bit overwhelmed with all the information. I hold a bachelors degree already so I would most likely be a mature student. Ideally I would like a fast track program since I has some university credit. My question is, what is the fastest way to become a nurse in a hospital (institutional) setting and what is the typical path most people take. Would it be advisable to do a LPN and while working continue to study to become a RN then get my BSCN/BSN, or should I just skip the LPN and go straight for a BSCN/BSN then RN? Where do I start? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
