Hello, I am currently a student at cal state long beach. I really want to be a rn but it is extremely impacted and it is just taking too long. I thought of taking a surgical tech program but all these negative responces of it being hard to get a job, pushed me away. So ive been thinking about taking a program so I can start working in the medical field. I was thinking about medical assisting as well. I went to everest college for an orientation and they tried to make me join their program that same day. They kept telling me that they have a bridge program from ma to rn. I done my research and have found nothing! Since I have found nothing and only similar reviews of people graduating from there and stating that they were told the same thing and that it was all a big lie took away my intrested. Ive spent days aand days like many of you researching here and there. But theres always gaps. I started gaining intrest on the lvn program because I saw there was a chance of being an rn. I always admired them and their work. Im at the pount where I dont know if I should take that route? What school do you guys recommend in los angeles area because I live in whittier. How much should they cost? Is there chances of me getting a job quick? And if they offer lvn to rn program? Thanks in advance.
