THANK YOU!!! Excellent advice :) do you have more information on becoming a CNA? How long it takes? CNA schooling?

Thanks so much for all the input. The longer the post the BETTER :). I have heard that it will be very challenging to find work with my ASN? Im just wondering what is the difference between going for your ASN and then your BSN? Then going straight for your BSN? Do you save time/money?? The reason I plan on going for my ASN besides (hoping) to land a job in a hospital is that my husband is also in school and we try to squeeze in work as much as we can to support our family. I really wish you a lot of luck in your future plans :)

JulianaRose- Are you in NY? Congrats on your baby :) How long did pre reqs take for you? Are you in school ft or pt?

Hi everyone!! Newbie here :) I am a mom of 3 girls living in NY I am planning on returning to school for a nursing degree and am looking for advice on how to go about this. Can anyone help? My only educational backround is HS diploma as I never attended college. I am so nervous that my HS GPA will negatively affect my chances of getting into a program. Does anyone have any advice? I did not due well in HS bc I had a very high stress home situation I am looking to apply to as many nursing programs as possible. IDEALLY - I would like to go to QBCC or KBCC ( due to financial factors) to get my AAS and I would like to CLEP any classes I can for convenience. Does anyone know if QBCC takes CLEPS as credits? And does this mean that I it will lessen my tuition expense or will it just mean I need to attend less classes? I would like to get hired by a hospital while I have my AAS and plan to volunteer to better my chances so that they can pay for my BSN schooling. I do plan going for my BSN REGARDLESS but from what I understand regardless I need my AAS? Is that right? Or is there a way to go for your BSN and complete the program in a short amount of time?? Can you share with me your schooling experience? How di you go about becoming an RN? do you work for a hospital I am looking for something that is economical, quick and easy ( not that anything will be easy but I mean in comparison to more challenging programs like ADEPLHI. All and any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!!
