Want to continue education asap!

I graduated December '04 from Cerritos, got my CCRN, then passed the boards in April. I'm unable to register for any classes at Cerritos (lost priority registration). Same situation with every single city college I applied to. I'm looking into Cal State Dominguez, as they have open admissions, so just anyone can take classes there as long as they petition and there's room. I'm really loving this nursing thing. I wish I was in the ICU or CCU, but I am staying in med-surg because I want to get back into school already. I miss class! Anyways, I am having a hard time scheduling work and school together. I feel bad for the person doing schedules because I'm always asking for a changes in the schedule (I feel reluctant to ask for changes yet again). How do you guys feel about returning to school and working full time nights? Is it okay if I push to December or January? I am planning on improving on my grades until I can apply for a Biology BS program. Was it possible for you guys work as full time nights and make it through? I feel totally lost!

CCRN with no ICU experience? Is that what you are talking of?

If you already have your RN, then there are many on-line programs available to you that you can do at your leisure.

Go for it. I plan to do my BSN online while working nights as well.

I'm a firm believer that you can do ANYTHING you want to do!

I agree... online is definitely the way to go.
