I will be going to nursing school in the Sacramento, CA area and am debating on whether or not to apply to LVN programs. My baby will be 1 once I'm done with pre requisites and I'm not sure if I can wait to get into an RN program. Do you think it would be harder to just stay a CNA and hardly get by while I wait years to get into an RN program or should I become an LVN then do a LVN-RN program? I know LVN's are being phased out of hospitals but that isn't a concern of mine because I won't be staying an LVN.
All in all, which route do you think would be quicker? My husband is in law school so the sooner I can get my degree the better!
Also, your science pre reqs have to have a 5 year recency and people have mentioned waiting that long to get into a program.. Has anyone had to retake courses due to that situation?
