Should I jump into an ADN program without any prior experience?

Is it better to start off as a CNA or LPN and work up to a RN? I was in an ADN program last year and was dismissed from the program because I did not pass two of my classes. Nearly a year has gone by and I'm still trying to figure out if I should attempt the ADN program again or just go through a LPN program. I really feel like I need to take baby steps into becoming a RN. A RN has so much responsibility, and I don't know if I'm ready for that right now. What is your thoughts?

    Of course RN's can work in DR Offices but they do not want to pay and therefore will not hire a RN often as most will not work for that wage,,If you want DR office become medical asst much easier and seems to be good number of jobs. Some DR's have actual RN's to assist such as Cardiologist's but you have to been really lucky, right place right time to get those jobs.

    Sounds like Med assistant would be great job for you, get to help people, do basic skills but not need all that college for all the knowledge needed to go along with license.

    Best of luck to you!

    I worked as a CNA before becoming an LPN and now I'm almost an RN! I think taking that route was helpful for me. Plus everyone is telling me that since I have 9 years of health care experience, it will be easier for me to find a job when I'm done. We'll have to see!!!

    Another reason I'm thinking more of LPN is because I only want to work in a doctor's office. Can RN's work there?

    The only problem with this though is that doctor's office jobs are hard to come by. I have been an RN for 5 years and have yet to have the opportunity to work in a doctor's office.
