Because I've always wanted to move to Washington but I'll definitely look into Cal State Nursing Programs. Do you know if its as competitive in Washington as it is in California ?

Hellooo ! thank you so much for your recommendations, anything helps, although I might not understand everything but hopefully I do soon ! I have one question though regarding CSU's. I didn't get admitted into CSULB as a pre-nursing major, but got admitted to the school. If i go to Long Beach, could I still get those classes you listed above and apply to a nursing program after 2 or 3 years of pre reqs? I was thinking I could also take CC classes as well but I heard some programs don't accept credits from multiple schools. But what would be the disadvantage of going to a Cal State rather than purely going to a CC to finish my pre-reqs. I hope I made sense ! sorry if I didn't. haha thanks again !

Thanks Brandon! Yes definitely rethinking it, but I do think I'll become a CNA as a stepping stone into applying for a nursing program.

I don't think it's a bridge program. I think its just a program from a private college to obtain your LVN. Yeah I'm in no rush to make money, just wanted to know which one appeals more to University of Washington's Nursing Program, but they did suggest becoming a CNA. Wasn't sure why they didn't suggest becoming an LVN.

I don't know if I should go to a community college or Cal State Long Beach. I didn't get into their pre-nursing (pre-reqs) program and would go in as undecided. So my final reach would be getting accepted into University of Washington Nursing Program. 2 Options: Go to Community College take my classes and pre-reqs (could take 2-3 years). Become a CNA in the meantime and do everything I can including mission trips, volunteer, etc to make myself a more qualified nursing student. OR Go to a four year college for two years and take community classes as well. Ultimately apply to U of W, while doing everything I stated above as well. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? Money is no issue right now but I just don't know which one U of W would favor? Any Suggestions ?

Thanks for advice :) ! I just wasn't sure if being an LVN would put me at a greater advantage of getting into a nursing program than being a CNA part time.

Yes I'm aware what LVN stands for but I was wondering if becoming an LVN would be a higher advantage than being a CNA when applying to nursing programs. My friend's an LVN applying to an RN right now and I could take a 13 month program for around 25 k but don't now if thats a smart choice to do.

I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm planning to attend community college for the next two or three years. While attending a jc and taking Pre-reqs, I am thinking of becoming an LVN but University of Washington (dream school) suggests becoming a CNA. I live in California and still have time to go on mission trips, volunteer, study hard, get good grades and create myself as a nursing student. Anyone applying or accepted to University of Washington have any tips? Anything would help! Thank You ! :)
