Hello! I have been considering nursing for about a year now but can't seem to decide how to begin or which route to take. I have a BA from 2009 so It seems logical to just go for the BSN. However, I didn't take any of the science pre req's for my degree so it would take me about a year to complete those alone, in addition to the testing, applications, and wait lists to even get into a school. I've been leaning more towards possibly CNA to LVN so I can begin working sooner. I have two children and cannot afford to stop working at least part time. My fear is that if I become an LVN first, if I decide to pursue the RN or BSN, all my general ed classes from my BA will no longer count since it will be so long ago. I am afraid to take out massive loans and not be able to find a job right away, and I also don't want to spend another 4 years in school (can't afford to work part time for too long). Does anyone have any advice? I live in So Cal in Riverside County so any school recommendations are appreciated as well :) Thanks!
