I want to become an RN that's my ultimate goal! But I live in AZ and they are saying there is about a 2-3 year waiting list to even get into the program. That's after you finish all your pre-reqs. I have about 2 full semesters of pre-reqs (so 1 full year). That's including those classes that are built into the nursing program. But I was talking to a friend she said it would be easier to get into the program and faster to get your LPN first. That program takes 10 months and I have all the pre-reqs for that program. Then get hired at a hospital... and u have double the chances of going back to school to get your RN because I guess the hospitals have there own program, then I will still be on the waiting list at the community college. But I want some more advice... I want to know that I can get a job as an LPN... and that you really can continue your schooling. Plus I want to make sure that the LPN program will count for something towards the RN program. I know this is A LOT of questions.. I guess I'm thinking out loud but I want some advice please!
Thanks!
