Back to School for Me!

Ooh that's really nice, I didn't know they did that. :) Hope you get a chance to go back!

Good for you!  My husband is a nurse and he finds it very rewarding.  Just keep your head to the grindstone and you will get through!  Good Luck and Best Wishes

Thanks so much!!  Male Nurses are awesome! You barely see them in the hospitals and they are always very very nice!

Congratulations!

I'm in the same boat except I went back to school after 30 years away!  I've finished my prerequisites and have applied to several RN programs here in So Cal.

It looks like I may be finishing all this in Washington, but I just wanted to wish you all the best.  I know you'll do great!

Thank you!  The RN programs are so tough to get into right now, so I'm going to get my LVN first, then do the LVN to RN bridge program.  The schools around me have a year and a half waiting list at least.  That's a long time and I need to do something soon here. 

Why would you be going to finish in Washington?

We have a great opportunity to move to Washington and I think we're going to do it.  My hubby's family is there and many friends.  It would delay my schooling for about a year.  We're still figuring it all out right now.  I've been accepted to Santa Ana, but I'm on the waiting list.  I've applied to Golden West and I was supposed to apply to Cypress this week, but now things are up in the air.

Washington requires you work as a CNA for one year prior to applying to RN school.  They also require Statistics as a prerequisite. 

LVN to RN is a good way to go.  Then you'll only have one year of RN school in front of you. 

I'm sure you'll do great!

I hope it all works out for you, that's a big move, but at least you will know some folks in Washington.  :)  I hope WA has a less wait time to get into school that it does here.

Congratulations! I am so happy that you returned to school. I am currently working on my degree and I know how hard it is. The J/C College's are very crowded these days! Because of all the budget cuts, the classes offered are limited & spaces are filled up quickly. I want to wish you the best of luck!

Yes, the JC colleges are very crowded.  I had a heck of a time getting all my classes and they were talking about how they cut classes, made them shorter in some instances, and enrollment is high.  Good luck to you on your degree!! :)
