Do you already have an bachelor's degree? If so, you may want to look into an accelerated program for nursing? If not look in to the community colleges, and google federal student aid there site can assist you in locating scholarships. Best of luck to you.

Thank you so much for all of your advice. I feel like I have been in school for so long. I am going to try to focus on my prerequs. I will try to focus on my ASN to BSN. I may stay at the CC or transfer to a four year school.

I need some advice. I am currently enrolled at a CC. I have been in school for a long time on and off. I just want to finish school. My ultimate goal is to obtain my BSN. I have 30 some credits needed if I want to obtain my associate and science and transfer to a four year school. I have even considered LPN but I know I really don't want to work in long-term care anyomore. I am a CNA but I want to learn new skills and futher my education. I want to choose the quickest route. One of my instructors advised me to go for LPN because of my work and family responsibilities. I am unsure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

I just learned that. MCI here in Richmond is calling me every day trying to get me to attend their school. I have decided to stay enrolled in the community college. I live in Virginia and I attend all of classes online, but in my area there are some community colleges and I have applied to the college that serves my local area. I look forward to earning my nursing degree.

I would like to thank everyone for posting a response to my question. I live in Richmond, VA and my parents are not here and it's not a option to live with my parents. I was thinking about working every weekend until i finish school. But I would not be able to spend time with my daughter, but I don't want to stop school because I have done so before. I am going to weigh the pros and cons and decide what path is best for me.

I am currently taking all online classes at TCC. I have 23 credits so far if I want to transfer to a four year university. I am a CNA and I want to pursue my dream. Nursing is want I have always wanted to do. I was going to shoot for LPN because I need to get into the workforce fast. But alot of nurses are telling me that's a waste of time. My mom said I should go straight for RN because that's my ultimate goal. I have researched MCI, Centura, JSR, VCU, and Virginia State. I know MCI is 15 months, but I am hearing that LPN's are goinjg to be phased out. Help please! I would like to know if there is anyone who can help me? At Tcc I am taking classes geared towards the associate in science degree so I can transfer to a four university. I am not good in math and that scares me. Some nurses at my job have told me go for RN because once you finish LPN school you get comfortable and never go back. With the recession going on I want to finish school and obtain my degree. I am a single parent, and I have to work fulltime. Alot of people have told me it best to not work while in nurising school, but that's not an option for me.
