Hello, I am a nursing student at my local community college and I am in my second year of prerequisites. I will be finished with my prerequisites in fall of 2006, but the wait to get into the actual nursing program is roughly 2008. At this point I am confused. Should I just go through the LPN program at a certified LPN school and start getting experience now? I have also gotten information on a 20-month RN school for an associates degree at Bryant and Stratton College. In a program this rushed, do you get all of the valuable information you need to pass the NCLEX as well as becoming a good nurse? Any info is greatly appreciated.
