Thank you everyone for such wonderful feedback and tips :) I have just signed up for those classes. It'll will be tough but I'm willing to push through those 8 weeks. Wish me luck!!

Thank you sooo much!!

Is taking 3 classes over the summer too much?? I'm not super smart, just an average student. Summer sessions are 7 weeks long at my CC. I am planing to take the following classes: General Education Math 118 - 4 hrs Speech 101 - 3 hrs Art Appreciation (Online) - 3 hrs My friends are saying that I shouldn't. However I'm 20 and during summer I have lots of free time as I won't be working or have any other obligations. What do you guys think? Would you consider this too much?? Thanks! :)

Hi everyone, I have been following this website for few months now and this is my first post. I am a senior in high school from Chicago area and will be graduating this summer :w00t:. As I am getting ready to start college this fall, I am seriously considering nursing as my career choice. However, I am having hard time to decide which route to take . Here are my options: Option 1# BSN at University of Illinois Chicago (extremely competitive + not GURANTEED if I can get into their college of nursing after sophomore year). Option 2# Enroll in a community college to get my Associate in Applied Science to become an RN. From what I have understood after reading numerous posts that as far as job responsibilities + salary goes it's about the same for both ADN and BSN since the objective for both is to pass NCLEX- RN. So my questions are: -Which one would you recommend? (UIC or CC). -Which route do you think is best for me? (For a B average student). - Which one would be faster? (I know I have to take prereqs for ADN which will make it for 2-3 years vs. BSN 4+ years??? ) - If I end up going to UIC and can not get into their college of nursing, what are my options for getting BSN and to become RN? - Can I eventually become NP or PA with an ADN or BSN? If so, how long would it take? - Is it true that from 2015 all NPs must have PhD instead of Masters? - Are there any accredited ADN-MSN bridge programs in Chicago area? * Thank you all in advance :) I would really appreciate any advice. :)
