I live in Wisconsin, Just graduated high school:). I have my CNA training done and I was going to move on to a Associate degree RN. I talked to a few of the local schools that degree is being phased out completely along with the LPN. This is the final year of LPN and 2015 is the final year for RN, So by the time I finish my prerequisites the progarm will be shut down. I think I may just go straight for my Bachelor degree in nursing, but I thought that RN needed to be completed first. I am really confused as to how this all works, the guidance counselors I had in high school said that it was just a rumor about the programs being closed, but colleges say that it really is going to happen.
