misskyeee

Good luck on your exams! I just took it last week at Moorpark, got an 88%. Now hoping for an acceptance letter.

I am in anatomy and physio right now, A's in both so far, but a low A in physio. Micro is the last prereq I need and I will probably take pharmacology and another filler class to be a full time student at my cc next semester. From there I am not sure where to go.. What I was thinking was becoming a CNA and working while on the waiting list and save up to pay for school. I figured that generic to BSN is out of the picture, had a long discussion with my dad about that. How did you get your BSN?

Hi I am in LA valley area and have heard of so many different routes to take for nursing, however I do not know which one to choose! Right now, I am finishing up prereqs at Moorpark CC. This semester with anatomy and physio and next semester micro, but I will probably also take pharmacology and another class so I can be full time student. (I am not working right now and want to get the most out of my financial aid). So I looked into National University for their generic entry to BSN as an "accelerated program", I would be able to attempt to get into the April 2018 cohort, with dead line Oct 2017. During the wait time, I was thinking of becoming a CNA to get more experience. Probably would end up spending 55k? I remember at the forum the counselor told me it was 45k for the program, then there were other expenses also, so adding about 10k to be on the safe side. I've looked into West Coast and not fond of their 98K tuition even after prereqs. I have a family friend who suggested becoming an LVN case manager who could help me get a job if I decided to do so. I don't know too much about this yet, I haven't gotten the chance to talk to them in detail yet. But from there I can find an LVN to BSN program which would not cost as much as ABSN, but take more time. With this, I would spend time working as an LVN, but I heard it is really hard to also do the BSN program at the same time. I am still unfamiliar with the time and cost it takes to become an LVN. And another choice is to do RN at a community college, then BSN at maybe CSUN or another university. With this I would probably apply to all of community colleges in my area. However, I heard the wait time is long, but it is also probably one of the cheaper routes.. I think. I do come from a low income family and get max financial aid. I have a GPA 3.5, kinda messed up my first year of college by taking too many classes and I have been on track with the prereqs now, so most likely gonna get A's in them, I really enjoy my classes. So basically I want to get a BSN as soon as possible. I don't plan on stopping at BSN, but that is my goal right now. I want to know which option would be the best learning experience, so I can get a good foundation relative to time and money. Thank you!
