Hello Guys and Gals, Just wanted to start a thread for those interesting in applying to NCAT ABSN program for 2018. I have about 5 prereqs to complete. I'm signed up to take Anatomy and Global Nursing this January. I'm wondering if there are any more out there like me so that we could possible start a support group :) AGGIE PRIDE!

what made you go back?

Hey respiratoryqueen, I'm so happy that I'm not the only one in this boat. I have been an RT for 2 years working in the NICU, teaching for 5 (but that's another story). I know EXACTLY what your talking about and feel the same way when it comes to the doctors. I have done a lot of research on nursing school and found that we have 3 options. 1) Go to a community college and obtain an associate degree 2) Go to a school that has an accelerated BSN program, if you already have an B.S. This takes about 16-20 months. 3) There are some schools where you can obtain a MSN and be qualify for the NCLEX after two years. So, no matter which program you choose...you're looking at about 16-24 months. I hope that this helps.

I'm an RT who wants to go back to school to become an RN. I want more of a challenge, more opportunities for growth and development, and I want to have a better understanding of what's happening to my patients. Why is it that you are seeking to become an RT?
