Really Confused.Undecided between LPN to RN or directly to ASN in FHCHS or Valencia

Published

Hi,

My name is Diana and I am in my 20's.. I was working on my degree for Biomedical Eng but decided to be in a rewarded career,with patients, where I can make a difference. I have been studying since I was 17 while i was in high school. So changing careers has been a difficult decision, since I feel I haven't done anything. I have been searching many schools around Orlando area, took the NET and was able to get into Orlando Tech for LPN starting January. Currently I need to take 5 prereq', this semester I will take Micro,Human Dev and Nut. I am missing A & P I and 2, so I was thinking in doing them while I finish my LPN next year.

The struggle I have, is the fact that I have to work as much as I can. But if I can't I will have to be in debt. I have seen some posts about FHCHS, went to the school and fell in love with it. But I am not really sure how competitive is, and if it is easier to get by having the LPN Cert.

Other option will be Valencia, but I am only able to do it in October of 2011 since I will obtain my LPN license in December 2010. In reality I am looking to any type of schools.. Any suggestions?? recomendations??

I am getting frustrated by not having an specific plan or afraid to waste time by doing the LPN since it will take me longer. My dream is to become CRNA. I know it will be a long way, so I am trying to do it the best way and as soon as possible to start working.

I appreciate any type of suggestions, any information would be helpful!!! =D

Hey eisens-

The best place to take the prereqs is Altamonte (whenever available). Micro is only available at the Sanford campus! The bridege from bachelors to BSN is easier to get into for sure. I don't know wher you anticipate doing the bridge, but UCF at Daytona was easy to get in! Check and see if they have a bridge program there. Also, PM me so I can tell you who to take at SCC!
